In depth

Verdict

Courtney Silver was the surprise winner of a Fontwell maiden and wasn't suited by front-running on a return visit. Winning point-to-pointer Criquette hasn't shown much over timber and has changed stables while Crem Fresh returns after a long lay-off though has run well here in the past. Sinurita started favourite at Fontwell on the back of a fine run at Bangor but weakened very quickly and pulled up. That wasn't her form though she has questions to answer. ELIZA DOLITTLE was having only her third run over hurdles when a good third in a Class 4 at Plumpton. This is a slight drop in grade and any further improvement can see her off the mark.
