In depth

Verdict

Coverham won nicely at Yarmouth but that was on fast ground and he’s 7lb higher here. SIR PLATO improved from his run at Windsor, when behind Blackcastle Storm, to get back to winning ways at Chepstow. This isn’t much better and he generally goes well for an inexperienced rider. Sword Beach was a disappointing favourite at Beverley but slips further down the ratings and Sweet Reward also has a chance.
