In depth
Verdict
Rightontime, Penny's Crown and Pop Gun are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Rightontime. The selection was a fair second behind Thenameescapesme last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Penny's Crown rates the main danger on his latest fourt behind Paynestown Lad she looks sure to have the race run to suit and should be watched in the market. Pop Gun is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Kildee Lass but he is becomming harxd to win with. Of the remainder Oktis Morilious has a lightweight and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Rightontime to small stakes.
