Verdict
This should definitely not take too much winning and we reckon that Ressource has more chance than most, with Investor Relations and Cedar Rangers and Donatus others worth a bit of a mention. Most of these can be safely ruled out and the recent placed form of Ressource would indicate that he is the one to be on. Gary Moore has his team ticking over nicely and this five-year-old has more scope than most in this class G seller. Although yet to open his account, the son of Broadway Flyer has shaped well in better company than this since going hurdling. His third in a class e event at Stratford last time was as good as anything achieved by the others here and he need only repeat that effort to oblige with conditions in his favour. Investor Relations won this race two years ago, his only victory to date and has been chasing this term. He is interesting back over timber but looks to have his fair share of weight. Cedar Rangers showed a glimmer of ability last term, while Donatus has the help of the useful Emily Jones, but Ressource is the obvious selection.
