In depth

Verdict

It was a spin of a coin here, with Kristinor shading things over Palace Walk, with Time For You and Madam Caversfield looking best of the others. Kristinor's cosy maiden hurdle win over course and distance last time make him a major player here today. That said, Palace Walk did the job well at Wincanton last time and is very much respected. Ten-furlong Flat winner, from a mark in the low 60s, Madam Caversfield could well get into the money, although Time For You's improved effort when second at Huntingdon last time, for us puts her ahead in terms of chasing place money. Flat recruit Darko Karim has hurdling potential, although he showed little on his jumping debut, and Lara's Girl has a lot to find with the selection based on recent course and distance form. Overall, then, the vote stays with Kristinor.
