In depth

Verdict

Mumbling,Considine and Villago are three against the field in this ultra competitive handicap and the vote is given to Mumbling. The selection won well last time out when beating Highland Games and although he is rising in the weights he has looked a progressive sort since stepped up in trip and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Considine rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Top Style but this looks more competitive and he will do well to win it under top weight. Villago is another worthy of respect as he also won well last time out when beating Red Forest but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Darn Good is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Mumbling.
