In depth
Verdict
Our Lady and Gilly's General will both have their supporters here, but Consignia has got the plum draw in stall 19 and gets the vote. The selection can be a frustrating sort to follow, but she won well beating My Sharp Grey last time at Bath and there is no reason why she can not follow up that success here. Our Lady looks the obvious danger on her short head defeat behind Scramble at Newcastle last week but she has not got an ideal draw here and is opposed for that reason. Tedsdale Mac was a close third in that same race but is another that has not been done any favours by the draw. Gilly's General is well boxed and could go well but will have to improve to take a hand in the finish, while Ivy Moon was disappointing behind Rocinante at Wolverhampton but would have chances on her best form. This is quite an open contest, and we will take a chance on Consignia.
