In depth
Verdict
There should be plenty of pace on here as both Cuthill Hope and Keen To The Last, like to force the pace. Preference is for dual course and distance winner Cuthill Hope, who seems to reseve his best for here. Fisher Street may find improvement for the visor, but Favoured Option seems to have lost his way since winning at Carlisle.
