In depth
Verdict
Just Past Andover finished fourth in last Saturday's Brocklesby at Doncaster but the form has already taken a knock with the sixth-placed horse well beaten during the week. Bill Turner has made another good start to the season, however, and his charge should be thereabouts again. Richard Fahey has won the last two renewals of this so Polski Max has to come into the reckoning, but a chance is taken on RATED. Out of a prolific dam, recent winner Majestic Zafeen is one of his five winning half-brothers and Mick Channon's colt may be up to landing this on his debut. Storm Moon is related to last year's dual winner Gold City and Rhagori Aur makes most appeal of the fillies.
