In depth
Verdict
Another tight affair here in which many can be given chances. Putsometnby was third off this mark behind Midnight Gunner at Ludlow last time. The gelding again has Tony McCoy onboard and the drop back to three miles should be in his favour. Minella Silver rates the main danger he was a good third behind Reflex Courier at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that form will see him go close. Creative Time is also worthy of consideration he was a good second behind Judaic Ways last time and is sure to have come on for his debut run this season. Wild Spice was second behind the highly regarded Ask Henry at Chepstow last time but the handicapper has not taken any chances putting him in on a mark this high. Trusting Tom could also go well he is a bold jumping front runner, who was second behind Amarettoforanna last time but that horse has since ran badly. Of the remainder King's Bounty had every chance when brought down here last time out, he could run well at a big price.
