In depth
Verdict
Some interesting prospects on show here and market confidence will have a big impact on the shape of the race. However, Sir Rowland Hill makes plenty of appeal of those with experience and sets a good standard for the rest to aim for. His victory at Hexam may prove to be useful form in time and he can follow up here with that experience under his belt. Hawick is also going the right way and will be interesting if supported today, where as a move for L'Oiseau or Minster Missile could also be significant.
