In depth
Verdict
CESAR ET ROSALIE’s second behind Hint Of Grey at Fakenham was boosted when the winner took pole position here later. Neil Mulholland’s runners have a terrific strike-rate on this track and the five-year-old should go one better today. Viserion finished slightly lame when tailed off at Kelso last month so is best watched today while the four-year-old Allfredandnobell also has a penalty to carry. British Art looks as though he’s making progress but will have better opportunities in handicaps.
