Verdict
Practically no recent form to assess, despite the large field. Matters are not made any easier by the return to the track of the now 13-year-old Glen Orchy Lad who hasn't been in action since September 2014. Many of these are fully exposed but perhaps EJAYTEEKAY can be considered an exception. A useful Flat handicapper for Hughie Morrison, he has shown a few shards of ability for Gavin Cromwell and may prove better suited by quicker conditions after winning on good to soft on the level. Feeling The Love is another yet to realise her potential and should be in the mix after showing signs of ability in maiden hurdle company for her leading yard.
