In depth
Verdict
Natiain gets the confident vote here with Tynedale and Harlov rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Lord Who his running style suggests he will stay this far and with ground conditions also in his favour he will be hard to beat. Tynedale rates the main danger as he won a point in good style when beating Lusker last time out, however his pilot is very inexperienced and he is taken on with this in mind. Harlow is another that could go well as he is versatile as regards trip and ground but he is becoming hard to win with. Kausse de Thaix looks sure to improve for the step up in trip but has a little to find while Jacksonville would be a danger to all if his jumping holds up but that is a big if and for the winner we return to Natiain.
