Verdict
Overworkdunderpaid bids for a hat-trick raised 10lb for last month’s success at Leicester. He beat Definite Dilemma before that though a line through the latter gives REAL KEEPER every chance in this. The import from France scored at Fontwell recently with plenty left in the tank and Venetia Williams’ charge can go in again. Grange Ranger is another recent winner to consider having won over a longer trip at Wetherby and is preferred to stablemate Kayf Adventure and Mount Mews.
