In depth
Verdict
Aldiruos, Peeyoutwo and Delightful Cliche are three against the field in an impossible race to call for punters and the tentative vote is given to Aldiruos. The selection had every chance until unshipping in a race won by Sultan Fontenaille last time out, that form looks rock solid and off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet in a wideopen affair. Peeyoutwo rates the main danger on his latest second behind Harrycat, that form looks rock solid and he should be closely watched in the market. Delightful Cliche is another that could go well as he also won well last time out when beating Jubilee Dream, however he was all out on that occasion and the suspicion is he may now be in the handicappers grip. In Discussion ran well last time when fourth behind Harrycat and looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Rushneeyriver was a fair second behind Chocdee in a claimer last time out but this looks tougher. Of the remainder Top Of The Bill ran as if returning to form when second behind Hyila and looks on a fair mark but consistency is not his strong point and in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to the progressive Aldiruos.
