Verdict

ACE WAR (11) has missed narrowly over this course and distance his past two starts. He's right on the cusp of another win and he did jump favourite here last time out. Purton remains in the saddle, he draws the inside and the form out of his last start stacks up. Can go one back. SETANTA (12) is likely to get back in the run as per his usual pattern, though he has been flying late in his races. He needs a few things to go his way, but his recent effort show he's right up to it if things go his way. Should be flying late. THE AZURE (2) hasn't been far away in recent performances and comes through the same race as Ace War. Boasts a good record at this track and trip with Guyon hopping on board. Can play a leading role. RAGGA BOMB (5) gets Bowman in the saddle today on the back of a good trial recently. Can bounce back.
