In depth

Verdict

Tatispout blotted her copybook when refusing to race in a jumpers' bumper here last time. Her chase form is nothing special and she may be too close in the weights to the bang in-form AMAURY DE LUSIGNAN. A four-timer beckons for Gary Moore's novice who galloped all the way to the line when winning by 10 lengths at Sandown eight days ago and can continue on an upward curve. Gracchus was well beaten in a lesser grade last time but Park Lane should find a small race soon and looks a better bet than the now-blinkered Unforgettable at the weights.
