Verdict

FORMULATION is Jimmy Fortune's only ride of the meeting and can prove a winning one. Hughie Morrison's charge just failed to catch Silent Oasis over today's trip at Leicester on his reappearance and can finally get off the mark in this company. Hill Tribe won twice, including over C&D, earlier this year but has struggled off a higher mark since, while Postman had been in fine form at this track before finishing well behind the selection last time. Elusive Warrior continues to slip down the weights and should be taking advantage before long.
