In depth
Verdict
A very tricky race to get to the bottom of and there is unlikely to be too much between them at the finish if the official figures are to be taken literally. However, Start Over arrives here with his confidence on a high after scoring at Hamilton last time and he may be worth siding with in this follow up bid. Adobe and Retirement will probably be popular selections in the betting market but have let their supporters down on more than one occasion in the past. Therefore Start Over looks the value option in a tricky race to end the card at Nottingham.
