In depth
Verdict
Qualviro has separated a couple of poor efforts with a win at Ludlow and Be My Light has failed to figure since going close at Uttoxeter in December. Kastani Beach has been in better form of late with placed runs at Taunton and Sandown last time. He looks sure to be in the shake-up once again but HATTERS RIVER is just preferred. He stayed on for third at Newbury last time despite a mistake at the last and Susan Nock's charge looks to have an easier task in this. Brough Academy has lost his way since last year's win at Fontwell and Den of Iniquity is another struggling to find his best.
