In depth
Verdict
A winner on the all-weather in March, PLANSINA won again at Bath last time with the re-opposing Tundra back in fifth. This looks no tougher raised only 2lb and she gets the vote. Eltham Palace looks no nearer winning after a poor effort at Chelmsford but Triple Nickle is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best. Chiavari hasn’t won since making a winning debut way back in 2017.
