In depth
Verdict
A number of these arrive in decent form but St Gregory is probably best watched following a lengthy absence. Bernisdale only won by a neck in a lower grade at Newton Abbot and the going may again be too soft for Aintree third Jester Jet. But Tara Mac continues to knock on the door and a step up in trip for Isla Fernandos has been long overdue. Goldray has a squeak, as does Bangor scorer Detour Ahead though she needs to brush up her jumping. SHANANDOA was doing her best work at the finish over 2m at Kempton and this extra half-mile can see her get her head in front.
