In depth

Verdict

Sir Winston disappointed when favourite at Taunton two weeks ago but can't be left out of calculations here with his stable in terrific form. Cold Harbour broke his duck at Ffos Las in November but faces a stiffer task here, while Shannons Boy has been put up 9lb for his win at Chepstow. Ballymorn is better than he's shown so far this season and Hobb's Dream is still at the right end of the handicap despite scoring at Lingfield earlier in the month. But we'll give another chance to SIR PETER, who stays well, goes in the ground and has Richard Johnson back in the saddle today.
