Verdict
Lamh Ar Lamh won over course and distance last month and wasn’t suited by a drop in distance at Hereford a week later. Sauvignon has switched stables but has dropped a pound since second at Exeter so has to go on the short-list. Pottlereaghexpress usually attracts market support but she’s yet to manage a place in seven attempts while She's Gina is trying a much longer distance. CUSHUISH was behind Lamh Ar Lamh at Hereford last month but is 10lb better off and has since shown improved form over this longer trip at Exeter so can reverse the form.
