In depth
Verdict
A particularly poor seller which will take little winning and the vote goes to Enitsag while Governor Daniel and Hamadeenah are the others to consider. Martin Pipe's charge was placed to advantage when landing a fair handicap at Newton Abbot in April off a mark of 100 and, although a little below the same level of form of late, looks sure to give a good account for this significant ease in grade under Tony McCoy. Governor Daniel has been a model of consistency of late and has fair claims on these terms but is thoroughly exposed and may prove vulnerable to a likely improver so is passed over on this occasion. Hamadeenah ran well when narrowly denied in a Hereford handicap in June but was below his best next time and has something to find with Enitsag at the weights.
