In depth

Verdict

Llamadas is usually thereabouts over this course and distance and beat Ginger Fizz four lengths here back in January. He's preferred to Albonny, who scored over track and trip in September but is 5lb higher on his return. Sommersturm looks high enough in the weights now so WHERE'S SUSIE makes more appeal. She's been creeping steadily closer to ending a long barren spell and, after getting within a short-head of catching Ordensritter over course and distance last month, Michael Madgwick's mare gets the vote today.
