In depth
Verdict
GRACEFUL LADY finished second the last time she raced over a similar distance and may prove good enough in a such a weak contest. Le Tissier has been competing over a variety of trips with his best effort coming over 2m here last time while fifth-placed Galuppi and Kilim finished almost upsides over 1m4f at Kempton recently. Sudden Wish has been hurdling without success and hasn’t won in this code since 2014 while the remainder are even harder to fancy.
