In depth
Verdict
Esspeegee should be thereabouts in a race like this if fully wound-up and a similar comment applies to Hope Is High, though others make more appeal. Course and distance winner Smoky Hill is fairly treated and Finley Marsh takes off a further 7lb but HINT OF GREY (NAP) looks the one to beat. Don Cantillon’s filly has been in excellent form over hurdles recently and she returns to the Flat on a winning mark. Graceful Lady and Sunlit Waters looks the pick of the remainder.
