In depth
Verdict
Martalmix'jac ran well for third at Stratford in June but reverted to type here last month. Getaman was second at Warwick in April when last seen over fences but February’s Ludlow winner Estate Italiana has been absent since pulled up at Fakenham in June. Uttoxeter winner Mutual Respect has six lengths to find with HONNEUR DE SIVOLA on Market Rasen running in July and is 5lb worse off. Clare Hobson’s charge is holding his form well and could find a little improvement in first-time blinkers. Gone In Sixty looks best of the rest.
