In depth
Verdict
Master Papa won with more in hand than the winning margin would suggest at Perth last time and is taken to defy his 7lb penalty at the main expense of Mooramana and Risington. The last mentioned is less exposed than many of these and has to be respected but it remains to be seen how he comes out of his last race when taking a heavy fall. Percipient has a nice racing weight but needs to improve on recent evidence and of more interest may be He's Hot Right Now, especially now that the yard of Richard Guest is back among the winners. Bel Ombre would have claims on the form shown here in March but has since then disappointed at Chepstow and may now be best watched. Mooramana has been running consistently well over both hurdles and fences of late and has to be respected but Master Papa was good value for his success last time and is taken to follow up.
