In depth
Verdict
Tarnhelm finished in front of both With Approval and Amood when runner-up over track and trip last time though she failed to threaten the winner. Waitaki last won in Ireland in 2018 and has joined a new yard while Sea Shack’s recent placed effort came in a seller at Southwell. But WATHEER started the year rated 13lb higher and having gave notice a return to form was imminent with last month’s better effort at Wolverhampton, Roger Fell’s charge may prove the one to side with in this.
