In depth

Verdict

Pindora's latest fourth at Redcar was a better effort and she wouldn't need much more here. Just Duchess also hinted at improvement last time while Reach The Beach was second over course and distance on her latest outing, but has been raised 3lb for her efforts. WILLIAM HOGARTH (NAP) was a promising hurdler a few years ago but hasn't won since 2011. He was beaten less than a length over 1m at Beverley two weeks ago, however, and should be good enough to end his losing run in this.
