In depth

Verdict

Wedding Wish has every chance on last year's best form but has run nowhere near the same level so far this year and headgear is applied for the first time. Two Smart has gone the wrong way since being placed at Pontefract in August while Gharaaneej was still beaten 11 lengths when fourth at Lingfield. BRISK failed to stay the 1m2f at Salisbury on her latest start but was beaten only a length at Ffos Las earlier so David Evan's filly gets the nod. Rememberance Day finished closer over 6f last time and looks best of the rest.
