Verdict
Muckamore and SOUTHFIELD HARVEST can fight out the finish in this. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ winning pointer could only muster the one pace when second to an odds-on favourite over 2m4f at Leicester but he’ll know more today and the longer trip is definitely in his favour. But the Paul Nicholls’ runner finished four lengths ahead of Saturday’s easy Ascot winner St Barts when second at Wincanton and will also appreciate the longer distance. Fedelta is a brother to five winners and has already won a point so adds to the interest having joined Emma Lavelle.
