In depth
Verdict
Sad Mad Bad is taken to score he will relish the ground jumps well in the main is from a stable in top form and he is a cut above these rivals on his best form. Lord Sandrovitch looks the main danger he is well in on his best form but he is still prone to jumping errors and for that reason he is over looked. Emperor's Magic is from a yard beginning to hit top form but he was a disappointing sixth behind Cuthill Hope at Kelso last time out and will need to improve on that effort to score. Skillwise has failed to complete the course on his last three runs while Solway Rose has it to do in this company.
