In depth
Verdict
Bahr Nothing is back on a winning mark but has shown very little lately. Estate is well treated on his old form but appears a light of former days while Tamarillo Grove and Shilpa may need this. CRUISE IN STYLE had Acapulco Bay well beaten back in third when successful over C&D in March. A wind operation appears to have cured her breathing problems and she looks capable of scoring again, despite a 7lb higher mark, though Strictly could be interesting after his win in a Newton Abbot seller and probably has more scope than the disappointing Tuscany Star.
