Verdict
Fingerontheswitch had Bodega well behind when scoring at Huntingdon. Despite a 5lb rise, he is still well treated on his best form and Harry Reed’s claim will help too. However, ALLTHEGEAR NO IDEA (NAP) also ended a long losing run last time at Perth. That looks the stronger form and he’s a thorough stayer who will be staying on when others have cried enough. Generous Chief could be a danger off bottom weight but quicker going may not suit Chepstow third Champagne Chaser, who will also have his stamina to prove. Join The Clan is best watched at present.
