Verdict
Coo Star Sivola has been in dramatic decline in recent years while Your Band is having a first run over fences with Ciaran Gethings preferring Kabrit. Lady Tremaine may still have a bit of scope but Captain Tommy has been out of sorts for a while. HEART OF A LION was more like his old self at Fontwell recently and this is a race which won’t take much winning.
