In depth
Verdict
You Do The Math should have the answers in the finale. Jurado Express and Silver Dollars are two to consider against the selection. Charlie Longsdon has made a fine start to his training career and this former Alan King inmate provided him with another winner when impressively accounting for Back Nine at Sandown in a well contested heat. This contest looks less demanding and he should prove hard to beat. Jurado Express was a useful handicapper in his day and made a fine start to his Hunter Chase career at Leicester. He looked in need of the outing that day but ran well in a race that featured some decent yardsticks and he should give a good account. Silver Dollars's career under Rules was more miss than hit but he hasn't got many miles on the clock and has been in winning form between the flags, including at Kingston Blount on his latest start. He may have more to offer but You Do The Math is hard to oppose.
