In depth

Verdict

Siberian Highness gets a confident vote here, Corker and Warningcamp look to be the main danger. . Siberian Highness was well touted before her debut and put in a classy display. She had not been far off Listed class in France and was always travelling supremely well in what was a reasonable field. Once let loose at the last she quickened right away, a follow up looks on the cards. Corker has been running well in decent company. He is rated in the hundreds and so should be capable of landing a small hurdle event, but may have to give second best today. Warningcamp. Is expected to improve on her debut run and could get into the places. So not the strongest of contests and Siberian Highness should land this before going on to better things.
