In depth
Verdict
Cheekpieces could bring about further progress in Ayr fourth Cavalry Scout but DONTDELAY is reunited with Emma Smith-Chaston, who rode him to victory at Hexham. A subsequent fourth came over fences at Wetherby and he won’t be far away today if handling this quicker surface. Monsieur Bagot has also been chasing but Broadway Belle is a course and distance winner and maybe this stamina test will bring about some improvement in Invisible Clouds.
