7 Rydgemont\u2019s Heir<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

After a really strong second a fortnight ago, Rydgemont\u2019s Heir (7) steps out here in a field featuring some horses yet to win a race. Cops a 30m handicap for it, but history suggests they are not insurmountable marks to win from. Good beginner, so should get handy enough to be a major player.

Some of the recent work of Dragon Power (1) has been very impressive and today\u2019s assignment sets up beautifully. Should be close to the speed throughout, ideally sitting on the back of the leader and in a field devoid of a dominant force that kind of run might be enough to win here.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
