In depth
Verdict
Bonnie Prince Blue has been in really good form over the past few weeks but has climbed to a high mark as a consequence though Dale Swift's claim is a bonus. Adam De Beaulieu has had very little racing since winning a C&D maiden in 2010 but Gracie's Gift isn't out of this as though beaten 6l by ONLY TEN PER CENT over 6f here last month she's much better off at the weights. However, the winner has since improved again to score over today's C&D and is progressing well enough to confirm the form and complete a hat-trick.
