      In depth

      Verdict

      A far-from-straightforward task for MAROWN but Nicky Richards’ novice should extend his unbeaten record stepping up a grade. Penny Blak has been looking one paced in bumpers so the longer trip and a switch to hurdles should help. Aloomomo has won four times over fences but is 0-11 over hurdles and not getting any younger while it is even more difficult to make a case for Mig Des Taillons and Abrach Road.
