In depth
Verdict
A wide open contest and we have narrowed it down to Boanerges, Secret Vision and Fenwicks Pride, with the last named just getting our vote. John Wainwright's seven-year-old was knocking on the door here in September with two very good placed efforts. The latest was over this trip when just two lengths behind today's rival Boanerges. He has a much better draw than that opponent this afternoon and can gain revenge. Boanerges has continued in good form apart from a blip at Southwell last time, and should be involved again today. Secret Vision comes here in winning form after taking a five furlong event at Southwell. She has to give her rivals weight today but should still be there or thereabouts. The Baroness is from a yard on the rise and should be monitored in the betting, but if any horse here deserves a victory it is Fenwicks Pride and this one gets the decision.
