In depth
Verdict
Billytherealbigred is bred for chasing but his stable has struck form. Kartoon And Co is also bred for fences though his dam won a bumper in France so he should have enough pace for this. Summer Night City is a full-brother to four winners and out of a mare who won on the Flat but the vote goes to the filly LECCE LADY, a half-sister to a Listed bumper winner and out of a mare who won over 1m4f on the level.
