In depth
Verdict
It's All A Game is generally consistent and, though it was over a mile that he gained a comfortable success at Newcastle last month, he scored over this trip at Southwell in April. However, he's now on his highest mark and may struggle to cope unlike Viking Warrior, who has slumped in the ratings as the consequence of not winning for two years and would have to have a chance if anywhere near his best. GONINODAETHAT has won three times in his career, all on this track including over 6f last month. He pulled too hard at Hamilton on Thursday but Graham Lee will ensure that won't be the case here and he gets the vote. Further rain would aid the cause of Rioja Day, whose only success came on heavy ground at Windsor.
