In depth
Verdict
Mouchee won over track and trip in November and is 5lb higher today while Mr Carbonator won at Southwell last month and finished ahead of Sunhill Lad when placed at the same track recently. Lady Jayne and Prince Consort posted better efforts on their respective latest starts and both step up in trip but FONT VERT is preferred. The latter also attempts a longer distance on her return to action having ran well over a mile at Bath in August and Danny Tudhope’s presence in the saddle suggests a big run is expected today.
