In depth

Verdict

After scoring over the minimum trip at Bath in October, FORTY PROOF has twice finished behind Pitkin over that trip at Wolverhampton, staying on in the closing stages on both occasions. He's a couple of pounds higher here but the longer trip will be in his favour and he can double his winning tally. Magic Stella found 7f too far at Wolverhampton after scoring over this trip there earlier. She looks a threat but it was a very modest affair that Liberty Green won here last time and it would be no surprise to see fourth-placed Zeavola reverse the form with Andrew Balding's horses in good heart.
