In depth
Verdict
Philip Hobbs has picked up exactly where he left off last season and Hard To Know put in his best effort for some time in his latest outing. However, he has been reported to have suffered breathing problems in the past and thus there has to be a question mark about him today. A chance therefore is taken on Weet And See adding to his tally if Mark Bradburne can keep him up to the task in the later stages. Of the rest, Elvis Reigns appeals the most as an outside chance.
