In depth
Verdict
A disappointing turnout for a good prize. Front-running, Zaffaranni, made a couple of uncharacteristic jumping errors at Wetherby last time out but we'll forgive that indiscretion and make him the TEAMtalk selection today. Ismene makes a chasing bow and is of obvious interest here. Rated 108 over hurdles, she is yet to prove she stays three miles but her trainer is in sparkling form of late. Parlour Game probably needs it softer while Mill Emerald and Hi Lily are difficult to fancy in higher grade.
