Verdict
As always in a bumper race with very little form on offer the betting market may prove the best guide. However, one of those with previous racecourse experience sets a decent standard here, as the TEAMtalk selection Sh Boom finished sixth in a Listed race at Warwick and then was a nice winner at Towcester back in April. The four-year-old represents a stable who does well in these races and he looks a nice prospect for the future. None of his rivals really catch the eye although Loopy Linda can be expected to be fully wound up and looks the pick of Tim Easterby's runners ahead of stablemate Doe Nal Rua. Sylviesbuck also represents a stable who do well in these types of races and should be noted in the market.
