In depth
Verdict
Cinzento hasn't been seen since scoring over 1m4f at Kempton in February but looked progressive that day but Mizen Master, a winner over 2m at Wolverhampton in September, was beaten in a selling hurdle at Taunton last month. ALDRICH BAY showed nothing in three starts over 7f last summer but returned after a very long break with a fair run when stepped up to 1m3f at Kempton. His rider's claim is a plus and he can gain his first success. Fulbeck Girl was headed close home after leading 3f out over this trip at Wolverhampton and she looks the main threat.
