Race 4 Predictor

Race Verdict

The obvious standard-setter is Homeless Songs although ground this deep would be a concern. Buckaroo has a better chance of handling it and does go well fresh. There is no doubt on the ground though about SALTONSTALL who carried last season’s form through to an agonising defeat in the Lincoln and might have his best chance of winning one of these today.
