In depth
Verdict
Hunter Forward has been taken to task by the handicapper since scoring at Haydock. She also has her stamina to prove over this trip so may not be one to take a short price about. Fellow Newmarket raider Advisor has plenty to find with Spirit Of A Nation on their run together at Haydock last time while this is a better race than the one Lucky Windmill won at Hamilton, though Garry Whillans' claim negates a recent weight rise. It's a while since THIN RED LINE got his head in front but Michael Dods' charge is on a very lenient mark now as a result and has been showing signs of a revival. He didn't stay 1m7f at Doncaster last time and first-time blinkers could see him pop up here at decent odds.
