In depth
Verdict
Rudi's Pet, Absent Friends, Torrent and Wise Wager are the quartet to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Rudi's Pet. The selection is a course and distance winner who is eased significantly in grade. This former Group 3 winner is not the force that he once was, but he still looks to have on outstanding chance of getting his head in front in this company. Absent Friends finished second behind our selection over this course and distance last time. He was well beaten that day but he does have a pull in the weights here and is entitled to get a good deal closer. Torrent was a little disappointing at Beverley last time but he would have claims on the pick of his form. Wise Wager did not handle the sharp 5f at Redcar last time so is difficult to put forward tonight, although his recent good form does give him sound each-way claims. This is a competitive race in which Rudi's Pet is taken to score.
