        In depth

        Verdict

        A poor contest where the confident selection is Tana River. Second to the useful looking Supreme Prince at Chepstow and then 17 lengths in arrears of the very useful Coolnagorna at the same track, he picked up his first win at Exeter last time and looks to have an outstanding chance at these weights. Trip and ground will suit and with her yard in good form she is taken to score. If she handles hurdles - and coming from the Tim Easterby yard she should have had plenty of practice - then Loopy Linda should be able to translate her good bumper form into a place and make up the forecast here, while Plenty Inn Hand should not be totally discounted in that regard.
