In depth
Verdict
Another open contest in which many have chances on their best form but the most solid option looks to be Torrid Kentavr ahead of Billie John and Winter Garden. The six year old won well at Sedgefield last time out and although he has risen in the weights for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Billie John rates the main danger on his latest third behind Latensanni but his best efforts of late have come with slightly more cut in the ground. Winter Garden is closely matched with Torrid Kentavr on a line through Latensanni and is another worth of consideration. Of the remainder The Alleycat and Jamorin Dancer are from yards in form and are worth a cautionary look in the market.
