In depth
Verdict
OUR CHANNEL (NAP) looks to have strong claims in this. Jamie Osborne’s charge returned to action with a close-up fourth in a decent handicap over track and trip a fortnight ago and can turn the tables with the winner, Forceful Appeal, on much more favourable terms. Mythical Madness should also finish closer to the latter on this occasion while Calling Out has every chance at the weights but arrives badly out of sorts.
