In depth
Verdict
Your guess is as good as mine in this 19-runner maiden Hunters Chase, but Granoski Gala is selected ahead of Sacred Mountain and Duchess Account. Granoski Gala finished second in a similar course and distance event last time and is given as the selection in a race where the market might provide your best guide. Gregory Peckory and Sacred Mountain, along with Duchess Account and Suetsu, all come here with recent point-to-point winning form and, if you have any friends on that circuit, our advice is to give them a call about what might have a chance in this race. Once again, then, the selection is Granoski Gala.
