In depth
Verdict
A maximum contest which should test some of these novices, especially as the ground continues to dry out. Stopwatch will appreciate the better ground here and has shown enough to suggest a small race should come his way over fences. The lightly raced Flora Muck will need to jump better than she did on her debut over fences, if she is to figure, even at this level. Tino has at least won a race over fences and may have found the race coming too soon on his subsequent outing. He has gone well fresh in the past, so lack of a recent race need not be a concern. A chance is taken with chasing debutante Kadito, who looks the sort to do better over the larger obstacles. The winner of a couple of minor events over timber, he wouldn't appear that well treated in this, but his stable are in good form and he may be capable of some improvement.
