In depth

Verdict

Tom Cleary has booked Derek O'Connor for Ozark Pride and that could prove significant as she's from a family that has done well over hurdles and on the Flat. Craan Run looks as though she'll need much further but Broomfield Hall's dam is related to several bumper winners. The form pick has to be CHOICE OF WORDS (NAP), who hails from a yard in excellent form and though well beaten when runner-up in a Gowran bumper that experience will have put her spot-on for this.
