In depth
Verdict
Kingston-Banker gets the vote here ahead of Corrie Moor and, possibly, John's Legacy. The selection was a fair winner at Wincanton last time, form which sets the benchmark for the race. The consistent Corrie Moor, a fair second at Catterick last time, warrants consideration, as does promising pointer John's Legacy. In these races, it often pays to side with the betting market but, without knowledge of that at this stage, we are happy to side with Kingston-Banker.
