In depth

Verdict

Mia Mento has every chance on recent form having finished ahead of Glenamoy Lad when second at Newcastle and she also had the measure of both Thegreatestshowman and Delagate This Lord at Newmarket last time. The latter went on to score at over track and trip when beating Union Rose and that looks stronger form than Big Lachie’s recent success at Doncaster. CORINTHIA KNIGHT (NAP) has a better strike rate on the all-weather but was still good enough to win off a 10lb higher mark at Pontefract last summer before landing a Listed sprint in Sweden. Archie Watson’s charge gets the vote dropping down a grade for this
