In depth
Verdict
This is a difficult race for punters to call but Winsley, Cumbrian Knight, Mister Arjay and Bernardon look the four to concentrate on with the vote given to the first mentioned. The selection has been knocking on the door on each of his last two runs, and he need only reproduce his latest effort to score here. Cumbrian Knight ran well behind Middlethorpe at Wetherby last time and he looks to be particularly well, so he is worth noting in the market. Mister Arjay returns to hurdles after running well of late on the flat, so it would be no surprise to see him make the frame. Bernadon looks to be a little high in the weights at present and he has been a touch disappointing of late, so he is probably best watched until he gets some respite from the handicapper. It will be a surprise if any of the others get competitive here and for the winner we return to Winsley.
