In depth
Verdict
Spirit Of Rome won here in January and was fourth at Fontwell earlier this month. First-time cheekpieces may help Deputy Jones while Marilyn Monroe had a first and a third to her name here in the autumn. Doyannie has been taking on slightly better company but connections are struggling to discover Shoot To Fame’s best trip. BELLEVARDE EXPRESS has been pulled up in her last two starts over hurdles but has shown enough to suggest she should be capable of a bold showing in a race like this if she settles.
