In depth
Verdict
Just the three runners following the defection of Courtandbould. TOMORROW MYSTERY has won three hurdles races and a bumper and is getting 19lb from dual winner Beyond The Clouds with her mares’ allowance. If her jumping holds up, she is probably the one to be on. Pisgah Pike developed into a decent hurdler last autumn and should make a chaser but hasn’t raced since November.
