        In depth

        Verdict

        Limerick Leader should prove up to the task here against the likes of Muskatsturm and Gideon Putnam. The Philip Hobbs inmate has been in form this season, scoring at Perth on his reappearance and then finishing a creditable third to He's The Boss at Ascot. It must be remembered that he ran behind Rhinestone Cowboy in a hot Cheltenham bumper last November, and he should outclass these. Gideon Putnam, a bumper debut winner at Chepstow, looked to have a mind of his own at Uttoxeter. Muskatsturm was pulled up when gambled on at Warwick, but any more market moves should be noted. For the winner though, a confident vote goes to Limerick Leader.
