In depth

Verdict

A wide open affair here in which many could be given chances on there best form but the TEAMtalk selection is Sir Ruscott. The gelding from the John Norton yard won well under similar conditions last time out when defeating Jim Jam Joey. If he reproduces that form he will be hard to beat despite his Penalty. Joe Luke rates the main danger he is well in on his best form, is proven on the ground and is from a stable in good form. Maraud won well at Catterick last time out when defeating Yankee Jamie but again he has risen in the weights and he may be in the handicappers grip now. Silver Gift could also go well but he was disappointing when pulled up last time and he may be feeling the effects of a busy campaign. Sadler's Secret has been a revelation since being moved from Martin Pipe, and the gelding would probably have won last time out but for hitting the front to soon. He will be a danger to all if ridden with more restraint. Brian James and Over The Hill are both course and distance winners who are proven on the ground and it would be no surprise if they came both came back to form as they both appear to be on favourable marks.
