Verdict

Most of these are no strangers to the winners enclosure, with Alto Des Mottes recording both of his chasing victories over this particular C&D. However, it's fair to say that they've also plenty of question marks against their respective names at present and could be lining up in better form. Nortonthorpelegend is taking time to bounce back to his best after attracting the close attentions of the handicapper, whilst Whiskey Chaser doesn't always seem to want to deliver the goods, with the visor not working so far. Therefore, the obvious selection is THE ORANGE ROGUE. He took this contest back in 2016, and was running well when falling in a decent race at Ayr in March.
  1. The Orange Rogue
  2. Whiskey Chaser
  3. Nortonthorpelegend
