Verdict

Going To The Moon has hinted at ability while this quicker going may help Crosstitch. Papal Music has placed on Polytrack and Tapeta and I Still Have Faith took a step forward when runner-up at Haydock ahead of Kamanika. Leading Company has been pretty consistent but is fully exposed with a similar comment applying to Obama Army. Fougere was second on her handicap debut at Nottingham but William Haggas has snapped up Hollie Doyle to partner ALHAMBRA PALACE with the Le Havre gelding certain to improve on his reappearance at Carlisle, where he missed the break.
