In depth
Verdict
A stinking turnout for a good event and possibly an easy task for good prospect Hand Inn Hand, who is effective up to two and a half miles, goes well in easy ground and seems a sound jumper. Kelrev will need to travel and jump better than he did on his British debut to be a danger. Mercato has some decent form in the past but looks up against it here.
