In depth

Verdict

It’s probably worth sticking with WOLFOFALLSTREETS in his current mood. Philip Rothwell’s gelding has won three of his last four, though has gone up a further 11lb less Adam Short’s claim. Gordon Elliott runs two and both remain relatively unexposed. Texard has won a race and is the choice of Davy Russell ahead of Zambezi Fix, though he would have struggled to do the weight on the latter. Chalky White arrives off the back of a victory at Thurles and is only a pound out of the handicap so preferred to Scheu Time and The Little Yank.
