        Verdict

        Stamina could be an issue for the potentially well-treated Jupiter Road and also SUDONA but David O’Meara’s charge travelled strongly for a long way over 1m2f at Haydock nine days ago so it’s worth taking a risk that she sees out the extra quarter-mile. Winning hurdler Dariya was successful on the Flat in her native France so looks a danger while Cool Possibility was going well on the all-weather at the start of the year. Noble Gift does most of his racing nowadays at Kempton and he hasn’t won anywhere in more than three years while today’s going may not suit Baryshnikov.
