In depth

Verdict

Risque Heights looks a stand-out bet in this handicap and he is a confident choice over Mandragola and Heathyards Pride. The selection hails from a yard in good form and he has the plum draw today. He won well last time at Lingfield and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow-up. Mandragola wasn't beaten far at Windsor last time and if he handles the surface today then he could give our selection the most to think about. Heathyards Pride is a course and distance winner but he hasn't been at his best for a while now and he is exposed in relation to some of these. La Estrella is another that has gone well here in the past, but Risque Heights looks a rock solid bet and he gets our vote.
