In depth

Verdict

Show Me The River gets the confident vote here with Air of Affection and Uptown Lad rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Polyphon in a handicap last time out. This looks easier and under conditions that suit he need only run up to that mark to score. Air Of Affection rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Harmony Brig but she has had plenty of similar chances of late without taking one and at likely odds he again looks worth taking on.Uptown Lad is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is pretty placeless and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Hollows Mill has the ability to go close on his best form but he may just need the run after a 546 day absence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Show Me The River.
