In depth
Verdict
A very poor seller here and not many runners are in form but the main protagonists look to be Countback, Senza Scrupoli and Maunby Roller and the tentative vote goes to Senza Scrupoli. The selection was a fair second behind Mr Whizz in a similar race to this last time and if he can reproduce that effort here he will not be far away. Countback rates the main danger he was second behind Golden Thunderbolt last time and that form has since been franked and if the ground continues to dry out he will not be far away. Maunby Roller is another that could go well on his best form but he pulled up for no apparent reason last time and may be best watched here. Dance Of Life is thrown in on his best form but he has shown very little of late so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Donny Bowling is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Senza Scrupoli.
