In depth
Verdict
Sectrometer gets the confident vote to open his account over fences with Winter Garden,Full House and Merry Tina looking the main dangers. The selection was going well until falling three out in a race won by Jodante last time if his jumping holds up he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Winter Garden rates the main danger he would have been behind the selection in that race and if Spectrometer gets round he will need to improve to win. Full House was a fair sort over hurdles and is built to make a better chaser, he is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Merry Tina was a fair third behind Catch The Perk last time and will like the ground but for the winner we return to Spectrometer.
