In depth

Verdict

A very tight handicap that may fall to Sir Bond, with Count Cougar and Hallings Overture also expected to run well. Bryan Smart's five-year-old came up against the in form Tyzack at Southwell last week and went down by just a neck. There were some decent types well beaten off in that contest and as he was returning from a long break he should be open to plenty of improvement. Count Cougar hit winning form at Southwell last time, beating Orchestration by a length. That was over the minimum trip but he has gone well over this distance as well and should play a major role. The dark horse in the race is Hallings Overture who hails froma avery shrewd yard. He returned from an eighteen month break to finish seventh behind New England over a longer trip here in February. He will have been in need of that outing and if supported today take note. All in all a very tricky contest but we return to Sir Bond as our idea of the winner.
