In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims including recent Wolverhampton winner Arabic Culture and Blue Medici, who finished in front of Htilominlo when scoring at the same track last month. Battle Of Marathon has been thereabouts over longer trips lately while Sir Prize was placed yet again at Kempton last time but is now 13lb higher than when last successful. Emenem drops down in distance returning from a lay-off but TORBELLINO finished runner-up to a winner rated 77 in novice company over today’s trip at Kempton last time and that form should see her competitive now handicapping.
