In depth

Verdict

Millenarys Lady and Unsist are both racing from out of the handicap in this. Marble Walk couldn't manage a win in nine tries over hurdles but has been placed in a point-to-point while Strawberry Hill has shown a little ability, though may need some help from the assessor. RED ROCK won't be much of a price but should have gained confidence from a course and distance victory five weeks ago and can defy a 9lb higher mark.
