In depth
Verdict
Even Bolder is the only one of these placed on his latest start but that was on Turf and he's 8lb higher back on the Polytrack. Atlantic Beach and Desert Strike finished upsides at Wolverhampton last time though neither looked like winning at any point while Picansort continues to endure a long losing run. Roy's Legacy can be given a chance on his best recent form but the speculative vote goes to FATHOM FIVE as he was racing off a 13lb higher mark at the start of the year and drops down a grade today.
