Verdict

Stan Moore has won this twice in recent years but neither of his two entries, Endislie nor the newcomer Deeper Magic, look good enough. CIARAS COOKIE had looked very moderate, even at this level, before an all-the-way victory at Yarmouth which has seen her rating shoot up 13lb - in that kind of mood she's impossible to oppose. Grenade has plenty of winning relatives so connections will be disappointed he's had to drop into this lowly class on just his second start but Honey Required is respected as she made a promising start over 6f at Kempton and will be suited by this longer trip.
