In depth
Verdict
Pete has won at this idiosyncratic venue for the past three years and has a leading claim off topweight if ready for this first run in 270 days. The market should prove informative in that respect. It's hard to believe GALLEY SLAVE is going for the hat-trick as he'd not scored since June 2011 until obliging the last twice. However, he's been very game on both occasions and looks the one to beat. Foot The Bill landed his sole success over 3m plus on good ground over fences and ran quite well at Perth last time over timber. He's one to note on that evidence whilst check the market for any money for Run Forest Run as Tom Scudamore is an interesting booking for the McLintock charge. Raiftieri is out of the handicap but is an each-way possible.
