In depth
Verdict
Kyper Disco looks to have found an easy opportunity to break his maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. His run behind Rhinestone Cowboy represents by far and away the best form in the race. He is the confident selection though his price might not be the even money forecast in one trade paper. Phar From Fair has winning form to his name but even at his best he is pounds behind the selection. A plus point for his chances is he did handle heavy ground last time out. The rest look outclassed on racecourse form though a case could be made for chaser Mighty Kilcash who hails from a stable awakening from its Christmas slumber.
