In depth
Verdict
Little Roxy is a course regular and recorded both wins so far over 2m here albeit back in 2011. But LINDSAY'S DREAM makes more appeal as Zoe Davison's mare scored off a higher mark over course and distance last year and a recent third at Chepstow suggests a return to winning ways is imminent. Galiotto has won on the all-weather recently and has a chance reverting to hurdling while Chankillo went close over a longer trip at Taunton the last time he was partnered by Sam Twiston-Davies. Landerbee ran his best race to date when runner-up at Wincanton last time and looks best of the rest.
