In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in this but Jane Elliott steered WALK LIKE A GIANT to victory in an apprentices' race over a mile at Kempton recently and her mount won off a higher mark over today's trip earlier this year. Mary Le Bow can figure again having scored here before finishing a close-up third last time and Hedge End will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long. Fern Owl and Marmalad are closely matched on latest running at Kempton but Hickster looks high enough in the weights.
