In depth
Verdict
None of these inspire confidence. Roby Mill has been thereabouts over longer trips and is fitted with a visor looking for a first success while Charming Paradise finished runner-up over track and trip last time but a high draw has done him no favours. Laurentia is another drawn wide and TREPIDATION won off a higher mark over track and trip back in March so gets a token vote to come good again.
