In depth
Verdict
Earthly won over 2m1f at Bath before placing at the same track but has been raised a further 5lb. The latter finished ahead of the THE DETAINEE when scoring in the west country but Neil Mulholland’s charge re-opposes on better terms today having subsequently finished a decent fourth over track and trip behind Bird For Life, who runs in the previous race, and he gets the vote. Kaisan was placed over 1m4f here recently and stays this far while Spice War won twice over 1m6f on the all-weather last year.
