RACING POST VERDICT

This looks to be a good opportunity for PLAYFUL FOX to get off the mark after he unseated last time. The main danger is Saccary.

Racing Post Pick
Playful Fox
Our Expert Tip

The David Pipe horse SACCARY will be popular with punters, but for me the most eye-catching runner here is FOND FAREWELL, who hated the soft ground last time but would have won the time before when well gambled and falling up the home straight when looking the likely winner. On first shows this looks a cracking each-way bet.
