Verdict
Risk D'Argent was only beaten a head at Sedgefield and holds It's A Lily on that run. Denis Hogan has sent over the experienced Paddy The Wire but I Hope Star’s win came on Polytrack at the start of the year so he will have questions to answer. GREGOR wasn’t given a hard time when a close fourth here last month and, with that under his belt, can take this. Akentrick, though last of five at Ayr, is also a likely improver.
