In depth
Verdict
It should pay to side with those who have shown the most lately. Broughton's Admiral and Velvet Voice went well last time and promise to do better over this longer trip. BOLLIN TED was thwarted in his hat-trick bid last week when he stuck to the far rail in the home straight on an afternoon where the early races were dominated by those who came stands side. There was strong support for him that day and, with his stable continuing to fire in winners, he gets the nod. Clenymistra is closely matched with the selection and also merits consideration having gone well over C&D last time.
