Verdict

Huntingdon winner Cayman Islands reverted back to type at Market Rasen last time and looks a risky proposition here. Noble Legend is starting to look well treated but is badly out of sorts while Minella Forfitness probably still has too much weight. But Here's Herbie has been knocking on the door and Wings Attract took well to fences at Doncaster when springing a 33/1 surprise. EMERALD ROSE won in this grade over 3m here in May and made a successful return over course and distance last month – she can shrug off a further 4lb rise to complete the hat-trick.
