In depth
Verdict
Kimdaloo won with such authority at Hexham when defeating How Ran On he is taken to win again despite a sharp rise in the weights, he appears to go on any ground and will be hard to beat if in the same form. June's River is well in on his best form despite top weight but he appears to have his own ideas about the game. Aelred is also one to consider he is well in on his very best form and the softer the ground the better for him. Welsh March is from a stable in good form and is also worth a cautionary look in the market. Damien's Choice would also have a chance but he is prone to the odd jumping error. Pillaging Pict should also strip fitter after a good third at this track behind Paperising on his first run this season.
