In depth
Verdict
CONJOLA was an easy winner at Wetherby in May and may be good enough to make a winning return in this company. Ballyvoque may do better this season with a sixth over these hurdles his best effort so far and Quest Magic has bits of form but has not raced since last year. Dalstontosiloth should have come on for a recent reappearance at Carlisle and may figure in a poor contest.
