In depth
Verdict
Rye Brook, Global Challenge and Peggy's Price look the three to concentrate on here and the tentative vote goes to Rye Brook. The selection was a fair sort in bumpers and although he was very disappointing on his hurdling debut that was on softer ground , this faster surface should suit and he will be hard to beat. Global Challenge rates the main danger as he is from a yard in top form and was a fair fourth behind Gracilus last time. However he gave the impression he would be suited by further and for that reason he is opposed. Peggy's Prince is another that could go well on his bumper form but he is another that disappointed on his hurdling debut and may need more experience. Of the remainder Amplifi is from a shrewd yard but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Rye Brook.
