In depth
Verdict
Page Fuller rode last year’s winner and was also on board Brother Bennett when the latter won over fences at Plumpton back in April. But he has to race off a 7lb higher mark back over hurdles and CANFORD THOMPSON is preferred on his second in one of these events over track and trip in August. So Sorry Sarah was beaten a distance despite finishing third at Worcester last month and Chilli Romance hasn’t raced since March though was placed under today’s rider in last year’s renewal.
