In depth
Verdict
This should revolve around the four winners in the field Musally, Grand Prompt, Just Beth and Unsigned, with the latter taken to prove too strong for his rivals. Bob Bucklers gelding is open to plenty of improvement over timber, having had just three outings to date and it is interesting the Tony McCoy again takes the reins. Musally has done little wrong and will be difficult to beat. However, while he does have more experience than the selection, he isn't open to as much improvement. Grand Prompt isn't one to trust, but may still be good enough for the minor honours, while Just Beth, who looked a difficult ride when winning at Market Rasen last weekend, has more on her plate in this under a penalty.
