In depth

Verdict

BREDON HILL LAD finished just over a length in front of subsequent scorer Unefille De Guye over course and distance last month and is actually better off at the weights today. He can complete a hat-trick under Lucy Gardner, though Victor Dartnall's charge looks the danger again under an accomplished amateur. Always Bold has been knocking on the door but this may be an insufficient test of stamina. The Kvilleken and Midnight Request have place claims again but Alberto's Dream was raised 5lb for winning an ordinary contest at Huntingdon.
