In depth
Verdict
A winner at Bath last year and also over hurdles at Ffos Las, Cogital is having a first run since November. Karakoram has been running poorly but Smith finished a close third on Polytrack earlier this month and will enjoy conditions. Selsey Sizzler arrives off the back of a win on Tapeta and there are no worries about a step back up in distance but Dynali has yet to win for Ian Williams. Be Fair is still seeking a first win on Turf and SHE’S ALL IN GOLD is a maiden but Tom Dascombe’s filly has only had three runs and she has been staying on over 1m4f so there is a good chance a first try over 2m will suit.
