In depth
Verdict
Wainak, Mr Fortywinks and It's Definite look to be the leading players here and the vote is given to Wainak. The selection won well last time over this course and distance when defeating Iloveturtle and although that was a surprise victory, there is no reason why he can't go in again. It's Definite does not look to be all that well treated at the present time and has also got plenty to prove over this trip. He was a little disappointing on this track last time and although he has Richard Johnson in the plate he is easily passed over on this occasion. Mr Fortywinks ran well on the flat last time and had previously run well over hurdles, but he is unproven over this trip so can't be backed with any confidence. It will be a surprise if any of the remainder are good enough and we will stick with Wainak as our idea of the winner.
