In depth
Verdict
KIMORA's form has a solid look about it and she's already proved herself around here. A P McCoy can steer Marc Barber's mare to a deserved first victory ahead of Clondaw Draft, who has won a point-to-point but has been made to look a shade one-paced so far over hurdles and was tried over a longer trip last time. Most Eligible has won and finished second in bumpers here so warrants respect as he's sure to have been well schooled but none of the others have shown a great deal so far.
