In depth
Verdict
He's Hot Right Now, Lofty Leader and Skiddaw Jones are three against the field in another wide-open affair and the narrow vote is given to Lofty Leader. The selection was a fair third behind Supply And Fix last time out off this mark. That form has since been franked and in an open affair he looks the value bet in an open affair. He's Hot Right Now rates there main danger on his best form as he has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if returning to form when fourth behind Loulou Navernais but the first time blinkers will have to work if he is to score. Skiddaw Jones is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Mustang Ali but he ran as if in the handicappers grip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Royal Glen is another with place claims but his best form is on a much softer surface and for that reason he is overlooked. Of the others Rising Generation has dropped to a handy mark and is from a shrewd yard so should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Lofty Leader.
