    Previous results

    In depth

    Verdict

    Stow was beaten a length by BELLE DE FONTENAY over the course and distance last month with the favourite The Jugopolist 20l behind. The former has since won twice very easily in this grade and has Going Wrong held and will obviously be difficult to beat though the winner should have few difficulties confirming the form on these terms. The Jugopolist has since run much better in a Haydock handicap and would have to be a major threat in that kind of form.
