    In depth

    Verdict

    Taradrewe makes his chasing debut off a potentially lenient mark but hasn't raced since October. Barton Rose also tackles fences for the first time but has her stamina to prove over this distance, as does Chepstow runner-up Quite By Chance. Makadamia has been raised 7lb since scoring at Wetherby but looks progressive and could improve for the slightly longer trip. GEORGIE LAD beat the 137-rated Stellar Notion in a point-to-point in 2013. He's been killing time over hurdles as this will be his game and could be thrown in off a mark of 115.
