In depth

Verdict

Doctor Look Here, Midnight Sapphire and Chill In The Wood are all worth a market check. Jasmin Des Bordes’ run at Southwell was too bad to be true while a case can be made for Easyrun De Vassy and the returning My Lady Grey but Graeme McPherson’s string seems to be firing on all cylinders and SAMMYLOU can overcome a 6lb rise to complete a course and distance double.
