In depth
Verdict
This wide open event may fall to Lady Suesanne, with Magic Amour and Spy Gun put forward as the main dangers. The selection hails from a yard bang in form and was a decisive winner last time out. She showed her appreciation of the step up to a mile as she came away in the closing stages to score readily. The drop back to seven is a slight concern but she is hard to ignore in her current mood. Magic Amour is also from a yard that is amongst the winners and he himself was a smooth winner last week, another bold effort can be expected. Spy Gun looked on the way back last time when a close up fourth behind Legacy at Wolverhampton and he should be vying for a place. All in all a tricky finale, but Lady Suesanne can give weight and a beating to her opponents.
