      In depth

      Verdict

      Rancho Cucamonga, Viewforth and Chairman Bobby are the ones to look at here and Rancho Cucamonga can lead them home. Rancho Cucamonga looks to have a leading chance here on the basis of his Hamilton defeat of Paddywack, form which was boosted when the runner up scored at Beverley on Tuesday. He races off the same mark here and is due to go up three pounds in future handicaps. Viewforth is a consistent type and ran well behind the selection, beaten less than two lengths but has something to find, having had a long winless run. Chairman Bobby is another who has slipped down the handicap and his two most recent efforts suggest the eight year old is not without a chance although he has also found it difficult to win. Rancho Cucamonga can win again.
