In depth
Verdict
Course and distance winner Cottam Grange has to be high on the list here, but we will side with Nicks's Choice,with Sister Cinnamon the pick of the remainder. Nick's Choice is a consistent type on all types of going and put in another superb display when beating Fabrezan at Newton Abbot last month. He wasn't disgraced behind Doof at the same track last time. He still looks on a fair mark and looks the one to beat. Cottam Grange stayed on well to beat Azzemour here, and cannot be ignored in this mood. However we think he will find it difficult under his penalty. Sister Cinnamon pulled up last time out, but had previously put in two very good efforts on testing ground. If handling these much faster conditions she should make her presence felt. Henrietta Knight's Queen Soraya looks the best of the others, but Nick's Choice is the most reliable of these and gets the decision.
