In depth

Verdict

Superciliary, Bold Adventure and Boston Blue are similar in that they've all won over track and trip and are fit from hurdling. It would be no surprise to see any of that trio in the mix off their current marks. But a chance is taken on ROWLESTONE LASS as she's a half-sister to a couple of winners over hurdles so today's longer distance should be no problem after her latest third over 1m4f at this track. Azabitmour is another stepping up in trip having tumbled 15lb down the weights since last summer and he could prove best of the remainder.
