In depth

Verdict

Champagne At Tara was keeping on when second at Stratford last month but the form of his yard gives cause for concern. Crosspark has been looking very one paced but Soupy Soups is unexposed over fences and was well in touch at Market Rasen in December when coming to grief. MINELLA SCAMP has been quite consistent over this sort of trip and, dropped another pound since his latest third, might just come out on top. Crown Hill also has a squeak but Thomas Crapper appears to have lost the plot and Weyburn has some improving to do.
