In depth
Verdict
Owed gets the call here, and Sweet Pickle and Distant Country might prove best of the rest. Distant Country has seven-and-three-quarter lengths to find on Owed based on their recent course and distance meeting. The latter should go well today. Far Note has six lengths to find on Owed based on Southwell form before that, and the former is arguably better over six furlongs. Again, we come back to Owed. Sweet Pickle looks reasonably competitive based on a course and distance selling win two runs ago in a first-time eyeshield, although it did not do the trick at Lingfield last time. Despite his rating, Coleorton Dane is well held by Owed on recent form (which came in first-time blinkers). The others need to show more which, once again, returns us to the selection, which is Owed.
