In depth

Verdict

Gardiners Hill won over a longer trip here last month and followed up at Chepstow when Edeiff's Lad was third. But he’s gone up 14lb since and that has probably opened the door for MATROW’S LADY (NAP), who is still very well treated with a penalty having demolished a similar field at Lingfield on her belated reappearance last week. Jamrham won at Fontwell in December and was only beaten a neck at Towcester subsequently, though was behind Edeiff's Lad at Taunton just under a year ago.
