In depth
Verdict
Hypocrisy caused a major shock when winning first time out in January and he can follow up this afternoon, Came Back and Canina look to be the main rivals. The selection got the better of Stonecrabstomorrow and Came Back in that course and distance event, landing odds of 100/1. The second and third have both been successful since and so the form is rock solid. Came Back is entitled to reverse the form at today's weights but Hypocrisy looks certain to improve and can again beat Jamie Osborne's runner. Camina gained an overdue victory also over course and distance last time, comfortably beating Rebellious Spirit. She looks on a fair mark for her handicap return and should be in the shake up. Stonecare Boy looks the pick of the others, but Hypocrisy could have got in lightly here and is aconfident choice.
