In depth

Verdict

Fight For Love hadn't shown much before a better effort on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse and there should be more to come. Alice Johnston has been sent into the lead at the second last in her last two starts only to be caught before the last. If ridden with more restraint, she'll take some beating. However, a chance is taken on STILL ALIVE, a winner here in March who had a run on the Flat earlier this month to put him straight. Shedding appears to need further as does Musical Ava, who is 0-24. Daring Decree is another long-time maiden and has been chasing while dual Flat winner No Way Jack is 0-8 over hurdles.
