In depth
Verdict
Livvys Dream is having a first run on the surface but is worth a market check given she may have more to offer this year. Redgrave is also having a first try on Tapeta but is more exposed. Badenscoth steps up a grade as he bids for a course and distance hat-trick and also has a further 6lb rise to overcome so we’ll take a chance that THE THROSTLES is ready for his reappearance given the top weight rattled up a three-timer here last summer and was highly tried later. Paco's Prince made an encouraging reappearance here last month but would still need more.
