In depth

Verdict

A tough race to solve and CHARINGWORTH can see off Knockavilla and Fred Bojangals. Good ground could be the making of the Trevor Hemmings gelding and having shone in novice company when demolishing Kilkenny All Star at Sedgefield, he are hope that he can graduate into this sphere. Knockavilla has had plenty of racing on testing surface. Four seconds on the spin have been heartbreaking for his backers. Fred Bojangals accounted for our selection on their last meeting. An effectiveness on this surface is to yet to be proved. Calculaite and Dar Es Salaam have a little to prove on recent form though cases can be made on the basis of previous endeavours. Charingworth appears the most open to progression and secures our nomination accordingly.
