In depth
Verdict
In a fairly tricky race, Hills Of Almhuim is selected ahead of Jiminor Mack and Weet Your Turn. Most of these have something to prove, although some have less to prove than others, I guess. Among these are Jiminor Mack, who is lightly raced and has run well in each of her last two starts and, to be fair, this is her level. Hills Of Almhuim would hold good claims based on his best recent Kempton and Lingfield efforts and is one to seriously consider. Crush On You has dropped to a mark from which she ought to be given some thought, but Cape Sydney is trying the all-weather for the first time. Weet Your Tern, though, was just beaten off today's mark over course and distance in December and would hold claims if repeating that. Finally, Inch High is well weighted based on his best summer Turf 2006 efforts, but Fantasy Defender is becoming a little frustrating. Once again, then, the vote goes to Hills Of Almhuim.
