Verdict

Riyami stepped up to 2m to gain a convincing victory last week, with Ciao Adios behind, but is 8lb higher though his rider can claim 2lb. SIOUX PRINCESS gained her second course and distance victory when seeing off Maura‘s Gift by just under a length three weeks ago. The runner-up will be 7lb better off but the winner had a bit in hand and can go in again. Nawraq is 0-16 but was staying on when runner-up over the extended 1m2f last month.
