In depth

Verdict

Sister Sibyl has started favourite for her last two starts but proved no match for a back-to-form Timeforwest last time at Warwick and is only a pound lower. GOT AWAY was never travelling at Huntingdon last time and wisely pulled up. She’s had a few weeks to get over that and had beaten a couple of decent rivals at Leicester earlier so might be good enough to give the weight away if back on song. The Nipper completed a double at Exeter and Wincanton earlier this season but her form has gone into reverse since. Barton Rose is racing from 6lb out of the handicap while Mariah's Legend has shown little aptitude for chasing so far.
