In depth

Verdict

Hand Inn Hand, Whereareyounow, Telemoss and Hours look the principals in another cracking contest and the vote goes to Hand Inn Hand. The gelding from the Henry Daley yard was a good second last time out behind Scots Grey and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Whereareyounow rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Spring Grove. However he will find this much harder under his penalty but he still has scope for improvement. Telemoss could also go well he was a fair third behind Iris Royal last time and he is sure to have come on for the run. Hours is another worthy of respect but his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. La Landiere is another that could go well as it is the first time this season she will have her optimum conditions so it would be no surprise is she bounced back to form. Of the remainder Hunters Tweed could run well mat a big price off what looks a fair mark he was a good second behind Be My Manager last time in a competitive race and the booking of Graham Lee catches the eye. However in a tight affair we are happy to side with Hand Inn Hand.
