In depth

Verdict

Bohernagore was a 40/1 chance when scoring over course and distance under Frankie Penford last month but was earlier a long way behind DING DING at Plumpton. Dropping back in distance may suit Sheena West’s mare, who can hit the winning trail again. Straits Of Messina was still beaten 19 lengths when second on his comeback at Bangor but Richard Johnson takes over the reins and improvement is expected. Jade's Legend is not out of this with Lizzie Kelly’s claim in her favour and she’s preferred to Silver Ticket and Thundering Home.
