In depth
Verdict
Simply Red and Dooby were unplaced when Galah justified favouritism at Doncaster two runs ago. Milton Harris’ filly has been generally holding her own in better company and looks the main threat to ILE DE JERSEY but Nicky Henderson’s recent acquisition could be anything after a beating a subsequent winner by 15 lengths in the French Provinces in August. Angels Landing has had her chances and is not improving.
