In depth

Verdict

A race lacking strength in depth but interesting nonetheless. Ewar Bold has been raised 20lbs since his Towcester win while Jumpty Dumpty, raised 9lbs for his Exeter success, could well be on the upgrade. Do It On Dani is consistent at this level. Jack Be Smart steps up in trip but the key to his chances, as with the Jonjo O'Neill and Kim Bailey runners, Glacial Tabhairne and Hurricane Bay respectively, should be gauged from the betting ring rather than the form book.
