Verdict
Recent course and distance winner Indy Five beat No Comment by five lengths at Doncaster in December, with Bermeo tailed off, but the runner-up is now 14lb better off. FIRST FIGARO won under Ned Fox at Doncaster and Leicester last month after a year on the sidelines. Venetia Williams’ charge still looks well treated and can complete the hat-trick, though La Cavsa Nostra has only gone up 3lb for beating Another Emotion at Hereford and wears cheekpieces for the first time. Glen Forsa won over 2m6f at Musselburgh in February but tends to struggle over this trip.
