Verdict
There are stamina doubts about Northern Lad as his best efforts have come over two miles whilst Dee Cee Elle acts on any ground but has yet to hit top form this term. TEGAN LEE comfortably scored at Fontwell last time and gets the vote, but she is 12lbs higher in the weights as a result and needs to defy a career high mark to land the top honours. If she fails to do so then Sea Cliff has dropped to a competitive mark and has the services of Tony McCoy. The ground is a plus for Roisin's Prince who performs better when it is softer. However he has to find improvement after some poor efforts this year. Nobby Kivambo returns to jumping over hurdles after falling in his chasing debut last time and back over the timber he should challenge.
