In depth
Verdict
Flying Risk would have a chance if getting a run from her reserve spot. Pretty Fantasy is now 0-15 and hasn't really threatened in her two recent runs over timber but Gallopongray has plenty of stamina which should come into play in these conditions. INFINITE GLORY never got the run of the race at Kilbeggan but was staying on over that 2m4f and today's conditions and longer trip can see her in the winner's enclosure. Bavarian Girl fell in a point-to-point and unseated her rider on her only start over hurdles though she's shown ability in bumpers.
