In depth

Verdict

JAVERT ALLEN, half-brother to winning hurdler and chaser Gladiateur Allen, is narrowly preferred to Our Follet, who is also jumps bred and is a half-brother to two winners. Ghyll Manor has a Flat pedigree but is a half-brother to three winners and looks a better option than John The Pirate, who has been well beaten in a couple of runs so far at Wetherby.
