In depth
Verdict
Pindar won at Worcester before returning a disappointing short-priced favourite back at the same venue. Nothing Personal made the frame in a seller at Stratford last time and may figure again and No Woman No Cry isn't out of this back over timber after being pulled-up over fences. Chankillo is a leading contender on his latest second at Bangor but the vote goes to ARGAUM, who finished well ahead of Pindar when separating higher rated rivals in a similar event at Worcester last month.
