In depth
Verdict
Morty has done all his winning over 5f so far including at Wolverhampton last time. But BRAZEN ARROW finished ahead of Bernard Spierpoint when runner-up at Chelmsford and may finally have fallen far enough down the weights to get his head in front. Both Della Mare and Perfect Symphony have own over 6f on the all-weather this year while Tell'em Nowt and Sword Exceed slide further down the handicap.
