In depth

Verdict

None of these have raced over this far before but ALGRIS looks sure to appreciate a test of stamina. Raced over 7f and a mile in three starts on the all-weather at the end of last year, the half-brother to the useful Flat and National Hunt performer Coat Of Honour should really come into his own over today's trip. Indian Wish had Shirocco Vice behind last time but the latter is fancied to reverse the form over this longer distance and Blue Cossack's breeding suggests he is capable of improvement. Boogie Star has shown his best at Southwell so far however.
