In depth
Verdict
ON THE FEATHER won a non-seller over hurdles at Plumpton in October. Jim Best's mare had a couple of runs on the Polytrack in February and gets a tentative vote in a race lacking any strength-in-depth. Dalrymple would have a chance at the weights if anywhere near his best while Bathwick Junior won at Plumpton in December and has been placed twice. He also has a chance, along with the four-year-olds Isola Bella and Golden Acorn, but Drawn Free has become disappointing and the potentially well-treated My Sister has been well below par this term.
