In depth
Verdict
This is a modest contest and a chance is taken with the strangely named Popocatepetl. She comes from an in form stable and is at least open to a little more improvement than most of her rivals. Miss Holly has been made to look slow so far and it remains to be seen whether a track as sharp as this will be in her favour, while Boom Or Bust, who has been beaten in sellers, must improve for the step up in trip if he is to have a say in the finish. Norwood Origo has had plenty of chances, over various trips, but even he cannot be left out of calculations in this event.
