In depth

Verdict

LE LIGERIEN keeps finding one too good but his form looks far superior to that of his rivals in this and he should justify short odds. Jonnigraig is tried in a hood but is rated 13lb inferior to the selection. Bitofblinding is more interesting having hinted at ability in a couple of bumpers but Solar Glory finished tailed off here on his hurdles bow.
