In depth
Verdict
Chris Gordon has been aiming MATTORAL high after his easy victory on very heavy going at Chepstow in January and the four-year-old can take advantage of this drop in grade. Madame Jasmine has gained both of her career victories on this track, though over 3m2f. She's been raised a massive 11lb for her success earlier this month and a follow-up may prove beyond her. Kowloon was fancied to open his account at Hereford and might have won at this trip though he didn't appear to be putting it all in when passed by the winner. Accordintolawrence is hardly consistent but wouldn't be without a chance on a going day and will like the conditions.
