Verdict
Irish Prophecy was held in high regard a couple of years ago and showed something of that promise when returning to winning ways at Wincanton, though he is 5lb worse off with runner-up Capitaine who started favourite that day and is weighted to turn the tables. ORGANDI had Saturday’s impressive Wincanton winner Misty Bloom back in third when a very easy winner at Ludlow. She has been hit with an 11lb rise but that looks fully justified as she’s a very progressive mare who seem suited by good going and sharp tracks. Surprise Fontwell winner Harefield has a bit to prove off 7lb higher and over another half-mile but Theclockisticking has slipped to a decent mark, though has been chasing. The Vollan will probably run his race again without being quite good enough.
