In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings under way but we will take a chance on Peafield. The gelding from the Paul York yard had placed form over regulation fences back in 2001. He has been in fair form between the flags of late and he goes on any ground. Kincora rates the main danger his latest third behind Bullinure Boy gives him every chance but that was a year ago and he may need this after such a long break. Kingfisher Star is another that could go well but he seems to always ruin his chance over regulation fences with mistakes, he will need to brush up in that department if he is to score. Of the remainder Itsmyturnnow is one of the least exposed in the field and he has more scope for improvement than most do he could run well at a fair price.
