In depth
Verdict
Spring Wine has shown a glimmer of ability on occasions but is still a maiden after 15 starts. Magnetic Force is also winless on the Flat and over timber and has an absence to overcome while Fascinating Paddy has a career record of 0-21 though the faster going will have come at the right time for him. BREEZE WITH EASE gained a C&D success in September and is just 3lb higher here. James Lambe's charge looked on the way back to form at Wexford last week and is another who will be suited by the drying conditions. Sierra Lady has won twice between the flags and may need further than this.
