In depth

Verdict

Successful here last week, Bit O'Speed has more on his plate in this, especially as he will have a job to match strides with Jemaro early on. The latter has been in cracking form, despite his advancing years and could take a bit of pegging back around here. Miss O'Grady doesn't always find what she looks likely to, but this is likely to be fast and furious and may play into her hands. However, Aintree Foxhunters winner Divet Hill is sure to be a warm order in this and will take plenty of beating.
