In depth
Verdict
LITTLE RORY MAC and Geordie B both have staying pedigrees and that should be an asset on the forecast going. Philip Hobbs’ four-year-old is a half-brother to five winners so gets the nod. Cydercourt has the benefit of experience so sets the standard but his fourth here in November has not really worked out. Darlyn may be the best of the rest unless the market suggest otherwise.
