In depth
Verdict
Realism, Tidal and Skylarker are three against the field in another wide open handicap and the tentative vote goes to Tidal. The selection won well last time out when defeating Wasted Talent and although he is rising in the weights he goes well at the track and has conditions to suit. Realism rates the main danger he also won well last time out when defeating Say What You See but this looks tougher and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Skylarker is another that could go well but he is better with more cut in the ground and he may find one or two to good. Of the remainder Margarets Wish is on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Tidal.
