In depth
Verdict
A contest that makes limited appeal for betting purposes with only five of the 14 runners having seen a racecourse before. Huntingdon third Sensible Friend looks the best of those and he should be suited by this longer trip. TAMBOUR is a Flat-bred son of Notnowcato and a rare runner under NH Rules for Roger Charlton. It would be no surprise if he had more natural speed than the majority of these. Hatcher and Blazon have more conventional pedigrees for a race of this nature.
