In depth

Verdict

Sun Cloud needs further and Tahiti Pearl arrives out of form. But both Up And Go and Montoya's Son arrive on the back of wins at Newcastle with the latter preferred having beaten subsequent dual winner Aye Well. ASTIGOS has been competing in much better company than this and was a close-up second in Class 2 company at Cheltenham in January. That's the best form on offer so Venetia Williams' charge gets the vote.
