In depth
Verdict
Undeterred, Blackheath and Dizzy In The Head are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to the last named. The selection does tend to reserve his best efforts for this track and with the return to 6f in his favour today he looks the value call. Undeterred won well last time over today's course and distance but he is not the most consistent and as that was his first win for over a year we are happy to take him on at the forecast odds. Blackheath won well over today's course and distance when beating Raccoon, but he has a 6lbs penalty for that victory and for that reason we will take him on. Chairman Bobby could go well at a price if he is on a going day, but Dizzy In The Head loves it round here and is given the vote.
