In depth
Verdict
Forever Loved finished in front of Rush About last time out at Lingfield and there is no reason why Rush About should reverse the placing here. Gaelic Swan was a fair third at Ripon last time out behind Perigeo has only had two runs so has more scope for improvement than most and if he acts on the surface he rates the main danger. Havoc was third in a maiden at Nottingham last time out for Ed Dunlop whom he has since left and he does not have to improve much on that effort to take a hand in the finish. Wise Tale was well beaten in a handicap last time out but this looks a lot easier and he can not be discounted in this poor but competitive affair. Oriental Moon is another that has shown a modicum of ability and has a good draw. The remainder look moderate.
