In depth

Verdict

A couple of these stand out from the rest. We Still Believe has been thereabouts over 1m2f lately and should go close again if lasting home but GEORGE BANCROFT is proven over the distance. The latter has plenty of scope having switched to Charlie Longsdon’s predominantly jumps yard after opening his account at Chepstow last time and first-time headgear may bring further progress. The remainder are harder to fancy with Two Brothers another stepping up in trip and perhaps best of them.
