In depth
Verdict
Skerryvore justified favouritism at Newcastle last month but needs to show further progress raised 5lb and upped in class. AMJAADY (NAP) is preferred fitted with cheekpieces for the first time having failed to catch the winner by only a short-head over course and distance on his latest start and it’s David O’Meara’s charge that gets the vote to go one better. Champs De Reves won at Bath before running well again over a longer trip at Kempton while Harbour Vision and Lady Dauphin have both been thereabouts over a mile recently.
