In depth
Verdict
A large field goes to post for this seller but Earlsfield Raider gets the confident vote with Chunky Lad and Adelstrop rating the main dangers. The selection has 25 pounds and more in hand on his rivals here on official bhb ratings and with his yard in form and conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Chunky Lad rates the main danger on his latest second behind Amnesty but his best form is on very fast ground so he would not want any rain. Adlestrop is another that could go well on his best form, he is another dropping in grade and he should be watched in the market, but consistency is not his strong point and he is taken on with this in mind. Arthurs Dream is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Youvegotmerocking but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Of the others Massive Way is from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but Earlsfield Raider sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beat.
