In depth
Verdict
Crimson Queen just failed in her hat-trick bid here last time when collared close home by Cockney Fire. The latter couldn't follow up over C&D nine days ago and Roy Brotherton's mare could turn the tables today. This is Ron Hodges' local course and his eight-year-old Kyllachy Storm is a regular visitor. Claimer Philip Prince gave him a confident ride to score here recently and is on board again. Emiratesdotcom and Swendab are starting to look well handicapped while Drawnfromthepast, Ginzan, Diamond Vine and Perlachy have all won here in the past but the one to beat today may be JINKER NOBLE. Only a three-year-old, he seems suited by fast ground and only found one too good at Newbury last week. Ryan Tate's claim could swing things his way this afternoon.
