In depth
Verdict
Not a strong race and not too many that hold a chance. Boogy Woogy is pretty consistent. Count Keni won a point 27 day ago but, overall, his form makes him opposable. Nomadic Star has been consistent in the pointing fields, as has The Preacher Man. However, for the selection, we turn to Hazel Reilly, who won well at Catterick last time and clearly comes here in good heart.
