In depth
Verdict
A moderate event, contested by mostly out of form animals. Evezio Rufo, the winner of 14 races under both codes, will surely need this outing after an absence of nearly a year. Another prolific winner Forty Forte has yet to convince he stays this far, but Royal Partnership is arguably better over further. Maggie's Pet showed promise in a couple of National Hunt Bumpers and is one to keep an eye on now she steps up in trip, after a couple of runs over an inadequate mile. Dash Of Magic is sure to be a popular choice in this, after running away with a moderate contest here last week. She has the best lady amateur in this country on board and is sure to take some beating, even with her penalty. However, a chance is taken with Spanish Star, who can give her stable a much needed boost. Norma Macauley didn't have the best of times last year, but her horses have been running reasonably well of late with six of her runners being placed in the last fortnight. Margaret Morris has won on Spanish Star before , so she knows him well, and with no doubts about the trip, he is given the vote.
