Verdict
St Ignatius is not in the best of form but won this off a higher mark last year. Triple Eight was placed in an amateurs race last time and so was Harrison's Cave, who had earlier finished behind runner-up Geanie Mac over 2m. But the latter has just the one win in 40 starts which is one more than the frustrating Latin Rebel can boast. IN VINO VERITAS is the least exposed and having finished third at Thirsk earlier this month, he looks set to open his account for Ann Duffield competing off the same mark in this.
