In depth
Verdict
Seraph gets the narrow vote in this wide-open contest to open the card with Power And Demand and Armentieres rated as the main dangers. The selection has yet to win over hurdles but he lost no caste in defeat when a good second behind Before The Mast at Market Rasen last time. With no trip or ground worries here he should take plenty of beating. Power And Demand rates the main danger as he was a fair fourth behind Uncle John on this track last time out. He was returning from a lengthy break that day so is sure to strip fitter for the run and he should be thereabouts at the finish. Armentieres is a course and distance winner but he was disappointing last time on this track and he will need to step-up on that effort to get competitive today. Colway Ritz is a 12-year-old now but he still retains plenty of ability and is another with place claims, but for the winner we will return to Seraph.
