In depth
Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between the principals but the main protagonists look to be Chasing The Bride,Mullensgrove and Moor Lane and the vote is given to Mullensgrove. The selection was a good second behind Mister Friday last time out and need only reproduce that effort to win this. Chasing The Bride rates the main danger on her best form but is still prone to the odd error and at likely odds she looks worth opposing. Moor Lane is another worthy of respect on his best form but his best efforts of late have come on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Don Royal has been in fair form between the flags of late and is another with place claims but has yet to prove as effective over these regulation fences and for the winner we return to Mullensgrove.
