In depth

Verdict

Lady Roania, Risk Challenge and Shekel are three against the field in this bumper and the narrow vote is given to Lady Roania. The selection was a fair third behind Amaretto Rose last time out, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here she looks the one to be on. Risk Challenge rates the main danger on his best form, he was outclassed at Aintree last time. This looks easier and he should be noted in the market but again he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Shekel is another that could go well. She finished in mid-division behind Closed Shop on her debut and is sure to improve so should be noted in the market. Of the remainder, Drink Light is another from a shrewd yard but is bred to be better over further in time, and for the winner we return to Lady Roania.
