In depth
Verdict
Kallista's Pride is string to hit form and can take care of this poor bunch, Cargo and A Teen could provide most danger. John Best's filly contested a much better contest than this last time and did well to finish a close up fourth behind best lead. She drop into banded company for the first time today and must go close for her in form stable. Cargo disappointed last time out after missing the break, but had previously landed two similar events at Southwell and so must be respected. Meanwhile A Teen, a course and distance winner last winter, could be in the shake up if this return to the venue rekindles his enthusiasm. Long Weekend, from a yard having the odd success on the all-weather, could be the best of the remainder, but in a race that will not take too much winning, Kallista's Pride gets the verdict
