In depth
Verdict
Ricardo's Chance, Jug of Punch and Dont Ask Me are the trio to look at here with Ricardo's Chance taken to follow up a last time out win. Jug of Punch won a similar contest on this ground at Cheltenham in April and though winless since he has run respectably, not beaten far. He can go well off only a four pound higher mark than his winning rating. Dont Ask Me is on a hat trick after landing the odds last time, but is ten pounds higher here. He is in good heart and despite that rise he receives weight from most of his rivals here and can go well. Ricardo's Chance won well last time after a good second previously. That win came over today's trip and he is reliable type, with his regular rider on board today. Ricardo's Chance retains his form well-he ran up a hat trick last season-and he can land another win here.
