In depth

Verdict

Bold Cardowan is on a roll at present and the booking of Richard Johnson suggests that his yard think that there is still a little more to come from him. The drop back in trip should not be a problem and he should make a bold bid to overcome a 7lb rise for his last victory. Takeyourtime has a tendency to find one too good so Winged Angel rates as the biggest danger. He was a ready winner over course and distance last time and should not be dismissed too quickly in a follow up bid.
