In depth
Verdict
AMIRAL COLLONGES scored by five lengths over these fences last time and can defy a rise in the weights. That's The Deal has gone up 4lb for finishing second at Huntingdon and the veteran is now 9lb higher than when winning here earlier last month. Speed Demon is upped in class after finding one too good at Stratford and Shady Glen has something to prove off his current mark on the back of a couple of poor efforts this year.
