In depth
Verdict
The champion rides Fleetwood Jack but it’s difficult to understand how his mount has managed to find himself with top weight, even in a moderate contest like this. Ambre Des Marais beat an odds-on favourite at Newton Abbot last week on her first run for Johnny Farrelly. Noel Fehily is in the saddle again but she does have a penalty to carry. Anton Dolin has been treading water off this sort of mark but looks to have the beating of Taroum on collateral form. This trip is a concern for ANOTHER JOURNEY but he’s thrown in on past form and usually takes on better opposition than this so could go well at decent odds.
