In depth
Verdict
Not many of these arrive in good form, though Dipity Doo Dah's second to Chill Factor at Ffos Las two runs ago and has been franked by the winner since. Micky Hammond runs three with Verko the least exposed, though he was behind stablemate Amir Pasha over a shorter trip here last month. Sohcahtoa, a winner at Hexham in June, isn't exactly consistent and Weybridge Light is also hard to catch right, though appears to have the beating of Schelm, Stand Clear and Sendiym on the form book. THIS IS ME, twice a winner on the Polytrack, runs in his first handicap over hurdles and has shown definite signs of promise. Don Cantillon's gelding should have the scope to improve past this lot.
