In depth

Verdict

HEATH RISE has been threatening to get his head back in front lately and has won off a higher mark over track and trip in the past. Testing Faith also posted a better effort at Wolverhampton having tumbled down the weights while Eye Knee has been hurdling and finished runner-up at Redcar when last on the Flat. Smokey Malone is preferred to Ask Peter of the rest.
