In depth
Verdict
A competitive event which should revolve around the front three in the market. Follow Lammtarra has done nothing wrong over hurdles and is sure to put up a bold show, but he is passed over in favour of the lightly raced Full Irish, who may be open to more improvement. Former Henry Cecil trained Welsh Main, won well enough on his hurdles debut and is sure to leave that running well behind, but the filly Nouf looks to be out of her depth.
