Verdict
Pasvolsky won a higher grade chase over track and trip in April and is 4lb higher. Island Run finished runner-up here in May and Gaboriot found one too good at Cartmel in the same month. But RISKINTHEGROUND may be a bit further forward than the rest despite being brought down at the third at Warwick on his recent reappearance and chasing bow and he gets the vote. Rocky Lake’s yard has won three of the last four renewals and could go well.
