In depth

Verdict

This won’t take much winning but Orchestral Rain was very disappointing when failing to land the odds at Fontwell and the form of that race hasn’t worked out. JAN WELLENS was last of five finishers at Perth but can only improve and did win on the Flat in Ireland so gets a tentative vote as Bam Bam has a Flat pedigree. New Zealander may be best of the rest.
