The four market leaders are all separated by no more than two of three points, with little to choose between them in terms of betting value, and they are unlikely to all be involved in the final mix.

That victory came on his penultimate outing at Salisbury in June, when first-time cheekpieces appeared to have the desired effect, and he has since confirmed that form with a decent second spot at Hamilton a month ago.
