In depth
Verdict
A big prize on offer for this competitive seller, Ghutah was third in a claimer last time out when behind Raw Silk he is a course and distance winner will like the ground and he should go well despite top weight. Rhapsody In Blue has been mixing chasing and hurdling successfully but his best form is over longer trips and with more cut in the ground. Island Warrior is a course and distance winner under similar conditions when Glendamha was half a length behind him and with both horses carrying the same weight he should confirm superiority over that rival. Ndr's Cash For Fun has not won over further than 2m 3f and is best form is on softer ground.
