In depth
Verdict
Contingency Fee is having his 70th career start but won six times last year and is only a pound higher than the last of those victories at Newmarket in August. BUXTED TOO is only 1-15 but can’t get much lower in the weights and he has had a pipe-opener so is just preferred. Mitigated Risk has joined John Butler from Dermot Weld and is less exposed than Russian Virtue.
