In depth
Verdict
This should concern the three previous winners in the field. Preference is for Christopher, who looked as though a step up in trip should suit, when winning at Exeter. He may be followed home by Just A Minute who finally got her act together when defeating Macnance. Glacial Sunset, sets the standard having won a handicap off 96 at Wincanton, and will be a tough nut to crack.
