In depth
Verdict
This looks between Reve and LADY CAMELOT with the latter possibly just edging it with her allowances. She showed potential with Gavin Cromwell in Ireland and wasn't disgraced in Listed company at Aintree in December. Her main rival looked like winning over 2m5f at Ludlow last time but couldn't quite repel the challenge of Rapper so the drop in trip looks ideal. The remainder have shown very little though Codeshare managed to win twice on Tapeta at Newcastle.
