In depth
Verdict
ONTHEFRONTFOOT has an obvious chance having placed in a couple of these events recently, including last week’s second over track and trip. Donald McCain’s charge can confirm latest running with Getareason. The latter has only his second outing for a new yard today and looks the main danger ahead of Shetland Bus, who arrives in better form than the likes of Article Fifty and Skyhill.
