In depth
Verdict
Avening is the selected if three five day declarations for Richard Hannon and will be popular here but his bare form leaves him with something to find if he's to prevail. Folio looks a more likely winner having scooted home at Windsor last time and seems to be getting better with racing. Miss Twti and The Kiddykid are closely matched on recent form but may have to settle for places at best, whilst newcomer Tripti might find this company a bit too hot and would be a surprise scorer.
