In depth
Verdict
A competitive affair rounds off proceedings with many of the horses having chances on there best form but the TEAMtalk selection is Through The Rye the gelding from the Edward Tuer yard was one of the most improved horses in training last year and he rounded off his campaign at Kelso with a win defeating Mytimie. He has risen in the weights again but this bold front runner could still be one to follow this season. Mister McGoldrick rates the main danger he was a good winner of a handicap at Wetherby before being outclassed in a listed hurdle at Newbury, he will find this a lot easier. Mirjan will strip a lot fitter today than he did for his debut this season behind Ballylusky at Market Rasen but he may be to high in the handicap to score. Colourful Life is well in on his best form but was very disappointing last time out and his best form is on faster ground. Open Ground is also worthy of consideration as he is from a stable in form and he will be fitter than he was when fourth behind Junkanoo on his debut this season
