        In depth

        Verdict

        The four-year-old Hestina will no doubt prove popular in this as she was second at Doncaster two runs ago and this is a much weaker race than the one she ran in at Warwick in January. But HERE ALL ALONG’s second at Exeter was franked by the winner earlier this week and she can only improve on that. Athy River has been showing promise in bumpers but Drewmain Legend and Macca's Stowaway need to find some improvement if they are to figure.
