In depth
Verdict
Not much form to go on but Leopard Hunt looks a likely type on breeding and can provide John Gosden with a winner, her main rival possibly being John Dunlop's Kawakib. Related to plenty of winners, and with her stable now in form, the selection should be more suited to this trip, on breeding, than the speedily bred Kawakib. John Dunlop also runs Gretna, who looks more likely to need the run than her stable companion. There is plenty of middle-distance blood on the dam's side of Noyac's pedigree, so she might not be sharp enough for this, while Sioux River showed very little on her debut at Newbury after racing keenly. Scenic Flight is gradually improving and will not lack for fitness but, in a race where the betting market should be watched for clues, Leopard Hunt is given as the selection.
