      Verdict

      Kenneth Stack and Amie Waugh teamed up to win last year’s renewal and look to have every chance once again with TONTO’S SPIRIT. The latter arrives on the back of a win at Thirsk having scored twice over hurdles earlier this year. Lady Natasha was still beaten five lengths when second at Doncaster while Sherman McCoy was placed under Becky Smith at Newbury last season and is preferred to fellow veterans Gunner Lindley and Thackeray.
