In depth
Verdict
Emma Lamb will surely pick up a race like this before much longer. Think Ahead has claims having won over course and distance last summer on similar going but, like Canford Thompson, he likes a recent outing. LADY KYRIA has had mixed fortunes so far over hurdles but she is 2lb lower than for her only win so far and was running on Fibresand in the spring so maybe fitter than a few of these. Chelsea's Boy is capable of better and Pardon Me also warrants a mention.
