In depth

Verdict

The newcomers could dominate this as the trio with experience have something to prove. ROYAL REEL is a half-brother to six winner over jumps and, being by Shirocco, shouldn’t be short of pace so is preferred to the four-year-old filly Marada though she, too, has a very smart pedigree for jumping and should be followed whatever her fate today. Stoner's Choice is out of a winning bumper/hurdler so could also have a future.
