In depth
Verdict
EMERALD FOX returns from an absence but won two of her last three outings here at the end of last year. The runner-up has subsequently won and she can confirm running with Violet's Lads. The latter and Mr Mac scored over track and trip in January but both finished behind third-placed Urtzi back at this venue last month and Denis Quinn’s filly will be sharper for that comeback run. Roca Magica looks nearer returning to winning ways and slips further down the weights.
