In depth
Verdict
Jeffery's Cross has found one too good in both starts over fences so far but COOLVALLA has won both his outings over the larger obstacles. Chris Gordon’s charge scored over track and trip before winning at Lingfield and there looks more to come. Born At Midnight scored at Wincanton when upped to today’s trip while connections will be hoping this drop in class sees Another Emotion return to form and he makes more appeal than Allardyce.
