In depth
Verdict
Sunken Rags, Circle of Truth and The Mighty Ogmore dominate the race and preference is for Sunken Rag. The Mighty Ogmore takes a drop in grade here and has run well over the course and distance. For those looking for a value bet, he looks tempting on ground he acts on. Circle of Truth has shown up well in his last two starts having been dropped to claiming class and is another who can go well now he takes a further drop in grade. he has looked one paced however and he may have to settle for a place again. After winning a maiden auction on her second start at Wolverhampton, Sunken Rag was given a chance in Listed company next time in the Hilary Needler at Beverley. She was outclassed there, but takes a huge drop in class here and she can return to winning ways. Sunken Rags can land an intriguing seller.
