In depth
Verdict
Touch Of Ivory won well last time but the form seems nothing special and so we will take a chance with Sunbolt, Wind Star and Airbound look best of the others. David Barron has at least one winner a day and Sunbolt holds strong claims here. Forget his last couple of runs as he obviously didn't stay the twelve furlongs, but looking at his previous efforts over this sort of trip he has very strong claims. He is now down to a very decent mark is worthy of close inspection. Wind Star chased home the 85 rated Aarmaaq at Thirsk last time and has to be rated a big danger on his handicap debut. Meanwhile Airbound has run consistently well this season and hails from a yard in top form. Touch Of Ivory is certainly on the upgrade and looks the pick of the others, but back to a more suitable trip, Sunbolt looks the one to be on.
