In depth

Verdict

Uther Pendragon sprang a 25/1 surprise here last week and should confirm that form with Susanbequick but has more on his plate today. Princess T has won five times over hurdles and five times on the Flat but half of those victories have been on Jersey. BLUE HERO is seeking a seventh course victory and is no stranger to carrying big weights. He’s marginally preferred to the in-form Gearing's Point, though Sheena West’s mare will benefit from Rose Dawes’ 5lb claim and won’t go down without a fight. Shadowfax may have needed last month’s run at Nottingham and remains unexposed.
