In depth

Verdict

Gina Andrews has partnered GENERAL ARROW to all of his eight wins between the flags. Tom Ellis’ nine-year-old has only run once so far under Rules so may have a bit of scope. Fiddler Of Dooney is a bit more exposed but there are possibilities about Normofthenorth and Tristan Durrell’s presence aboard Charm Park winner Socialiser has to be a plus.
