In depth
Verdict
A tricky handicap with a number of out of form or badly handicapped horses taking their chances. Robandela was disappointed on her reappearance but with the Johnston team in rude health, better will be expected here. Cool Spice comes here in good form and from a yard yielding more than its fair share of winners. If Aker Wood from the Alan Jarvis yard were to produce anything like his recent second to Baratheablazer at Newbury, he looks booked for a place.
