In depth

Verdict

Tomily is back on a winning mark having switched yards again while Good Luck Fox has tumbled down the weights and finished in front of Ballyare when placed at Newcastle last month. Fashion Advice also won at the latter track in February with PRIMO’S COMET back in fourth but the latter is fancied to reverse running in this having won twice off higher marks over course and distance in the past - Hollie Doyle takes over the reins. Fox Hill went close here in October and Machree placed over track and trip last autumn.
