In depth
Verdict
Hypnotic looks the pick of the weights here and is chosen to lead home Major Faux Pas and Bolton Hall. Michael Bell's colt is rated 90, and although not really running up to that mark last time, should have too much ability for these. He did manage to land a four runner race at Yarmouth last month, and although this is a larger field, the quality is just about the same. Major Faux Pas chased home Top Spec in a silmilar race to this at Leicester last time and isn't too far behind the selection on official ratings. The drop in trip should suit and he looks the main threat. Bolton Hall is a consistent sort but looks very hard to win with, he may find one or two just too good again. The pick of the remainder could be Andrew Balding's House Martin, but Hypnotic does have a touch of class and is given the verdict.
