In depth

Verdict

AMATEUR makes his chasing bow but was a stayer over hurdles and can race off the same mark as when second last time at Warwick. Cuban Pete is less certain to last home as his victory here in the autumn came over 2m5f. No No Juliet won easily at Southwell two runs ago but lost her action when last seen at Wetherby over Christmas. Sackett is hard to catch right but could figure if on a going day and makes more appeal than Ivilnoble.
