In depth

Verdict

In Extra Time, Radbrook Hall and Think of the Money make the shortlist here, with In Extra Time set to improve on a promising run last time. Think of the Money has won twice in selling class over hurdles recently but this is a different type of contest and his fencing ability has to be taken on trust. He may struggle to concede the weight. In Extra Time turned in a much improved effort after a lay off last time, and did enough to suggest he can land this weak affair. Radbrook Hall is still a maiden in 13 attempts, and although he is only modest and one paced in his finshes, he has hit the frame in his last two starts, and is capable of exposing any flaws in the selection. In Extra Time hopefully wont need any to see off the opposition.
