In depth
Verdict
Null And Void is one of the least exposed after just three outings and so is probably capable of further progress but even so would have solid claims if reproducing his third behind Tudor Wood in a Salisbury in maiden last month. Roger Charlton's colt was stayed on strongly over 6f and the step up in trip will be in his favour. In stark contrast, the useful Rivelli is a pacey sort who won't be inconvenienced by stepping back from further while Thundergod was disappointing last time but has claims on a previous narrow defeat at Carlisle.
