In depth
Verdict
TEAMtalk take a chance here with the occasionally inconsistent Dispol Peto if he can take advantage of his low draw and racecourse experience. Disappointing last time out at this track the drop back to six furlongs should suit and he is reunited with the jockey who rode him to finish close up behind Irresistible at York in September. A reproduction of that effort should see him go close. Bond Playboy has improved for every run this season and holds a fair draw here. He arguably ran his best race in defeat last time out at Windsor on similar ground to today. The Wizard Mul ran his best race last time out and looks potentially well handicapped. Whether this trip suits remains to be seen and he is not really well drawn. Avondale Lad has run some races this term and holds a handy draw for a front-runner. If he can pinch a lead here he could be hard to peg back.
