In depth
Verdict
Stonegrave was well beaten by Marakabel last time out and is only seven pounds better off but she is entitled to improve as she still ran green and is sure to strip a lot fitter today and she is taken to score in a competitive affair. Swellmova is the least exposed in the field and is open to plenty of improvement but he did not beat much when he scored and the handicapper appears to have taken no chances. Cosmic Case is a course and distance winner but her best form has been over hurdles of late. Noble Cyrano goes well for his young jockey and he could go well at a fair price with the return to this longer trip sure to suit.Lost Spirit must also be considered especially if he gets an uncontested lead.
