Verdict
Just Cause slipped up between fences when odds-on last time but has done well under Tim Gredley between the flags this year and looks the danger to the in-form HERBERT PARK. Rex Dingle’s mount idled in front when landing an incident-packed race at Exeter last month and the former David Pipe inmate can defy his penalty and complete the hat-trick. Stars Royale, Bally River Boy and Letskeepit Simple all arrive off the back of recent wins and In A Blue Dust boasts impressive form figures.
