In depth

Verdict

Cill Churnian is in fine form, winning three of his last five races - two of them over this CD. He stormed home by six lengths last week and can score again even off an 8lb higher mark.This is tougher though, with Commanche Wind his main rival. He won here in May and later beat Noel's Pride by four lengths at Wetherby, so should hold that rival again and he ran well when second here last week. Bergamo is useful on the level and has won twice over hurdles, but may be best on firm ground.
