      took keen hold, chased winner until entering final 2f, weakened final furlong

      In depth

      Verdict

      A case can be made for all of these as even Powerfulstorm may well have improved for a recent comeback. Anjuna Beach and Star Pursuits have been thereabouts on numerous occasions so far this year and Mambo Spirit posted his best effort for a while when second at Wolverhampton last time. Both Cookie Ring and De Lesseps won here recently and are not out of this but Josephine Gordon has steered HONITON LACE to a couple of course and distance wins and Phil McEntee's mare looks worth sticking with in her current frame of mind.
