In depth
Verdict
Lewis Stones was unable to utilise his allowance when partnering DEV OF TARA to victory at Fakenham last week. But he can claim 5lb in this and the latter should go close again. Miss Antipova placed over fences last time and is 2lb lower back over hurdles while Lord Bill wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Taunton. Harry's Hottie wasn’t at her best on testing going last time but can do better today.
