NO TRUMPS left previous form behind when making all at Wetherby last week. The Queen’s mare escapes a penalty and, with Tom Buckley utilising his claim again, she should take all the beating if showing the same resolution. Pistol will probably run his race again but usually finds at least one too good. The Horsechesnut and Mcginty's Dream will probably both be back over fences sooner rather than later but Dontdelay is not out of this as he won twice here on heavy going last season under Emma Smith-Chaston.
