In depth

Verdict

A Grade 1 winner over hurdles, PINGSHOU (NAP) was very highly tried in two runs over fences last season. He had excuses on both occasions and can start making up for lost time here. Dead Right has been hard to keep sound but has won his last three so has claims if taking to the larger obstacles. Lovenormoney needs softer going, however, and also has some improving to do while Forza Milan is very inconsistent. Potters Story has shown little aptitude so far for chasing.
