In depth

Verdict

An intriguing affair as a case can be argued for all six runners. Maraakiz catches the eye as a Haggas raider but needs to improve on his two runs this term while Forest Falcon would appreciate some respite from the assessor. Noble Crusade continues to run with consistency at this trip but KENTUCKY KITTEN is getting a lot of weight from her rivals and the trip could prove ideal after a solid run at Doncaster last time over a furlong further. There is a concern she'll be taken on for the lead by Broomy Law but she's going the right way and should go well.
