In depth
Verdict
Batool hasn't looked anything out of the ordinary, but she has been given plenty of time through the summer and she may be capable of better, especially now she has got some soft ground, while this trip doesn't look ideal for Ability after the way he stayed on at Warwick. He may do better in handicaps, but Montez, out of a mare who won a couple of races( one here), is capable of better than he has shown so far. The vote goes to The Hunter, who has shown he has a little race in him and a good run by Mexican earlier on in the afternoon, will be a boost for the Leicester form.
