In depth
Verdict
This usually goes to a fancied runner so the market should be monitored. Lilbitluso has won his last four between the flags and Solid Strike his last two. You Too Pet's latest second at Larkhill was a decent effort but EXCITABLE ISLAND was impressive when making all at High Easter. He looks a sound jumper, which will be an asset here as will the presence of Gina Andrews in the saddle. Its All Or Nothing may be best of the rest ahead of Alright John.
