Verdict

Kevin Ryan has some fancied runners on the card and we think ALEXANDER GULCH can provide him with a winner; Rupestrian and Gitano Hernando are feared the most. The selection lost no caste in defeat at Lingfield earlier in the month when only finding the potentially smart Lord Chancellor too good. There should be more to come and we think he can get his head in front after a couple of good efforts of late. Rupestrian won well last time but he had the run of the race that day and it will be interesting to see if he can build on that today. However, the yard should have a form line with our selection as Rupestrian is a stablemate of Lord Chancellor. Gitano Hernando won his maiden in decent style at Wolverhampton last time and it will be interesting to see how he gets on today on his handicap debut. Marco Botti has his string in good form and he could run a big race. Redwood won well on his debut at Newmarket and with Barry Hills in good nick at the moment it would be no surprise to see this colt go well. A decent race and Alexander Gulch is taken to make up for a couple of recent near misses.
