In depth
Verdict
GUIDO RENI (NAP) has a poor strike-rate but comes here off the back of placed efforts at Sligo and Brian Hughes is a positive jockey booking. Orchestral Rain would have every chance on the pick of last season’s form but a lengthy absence and top weight are twin concerns. Legal Beagle may be best of the rest in first-time cheekpieces.
