Verdict
Lerichi Belle has struggled to get her head in front and Northern Beau is proving equally frustrating. Rosie McQueen has claims, however, and Still Believing often pops up when least expected. Field Exhibition is interesting back over fences and Milan Of Crystal, another with winning form here, is well enough handicapped if she takes to the larger obstacles second time around but BARTON ROSE could be another for Charlie Longsdon as she’s been running well enough this summer to suggest she can take advantage of this slightly easier opportunity.
