Verdict
Stamp Your Feet has become disappointing and Barton Knoll blotted his copybook last time at Chepstow while Gardefort was still beaten 16 lengths when second at Perth. Western Miller was back in format Stratford, however, so makes more appeal than Never Up. NORTHERN BEAU showed she is versatile as to trip when beating Happy Diva over 2m at Cheltenham. That was a big step forward on previous form and, as she is only 2lb higher, Michael Scudamore’s mare can follow up here.
