In depth

Verdict

GALICE MACALO is conceding 14lb to her rivals, less Chester Williams’ claim, but it will be a surprise if she’s beaten. Jane Williams’ mare is rated 131 and has been very highly tried since completing a double last October. Alfida may do better now going hurdling and Wilderness already has a third at Wincanton to her name so they may prove the pick of the remainder.
