In depth

Verdict

Grand Vision was second over hurdles at this meeting last year but his jumping has left something to be desired over fences so far. Wetherby winner Sego Success is interesting as the runner-up has franked the form while Mosspark should be winning soon. Tara Road found 2m1f too short at Newbury and is entitled to respect while the mare Mickie will relish this trip but the hat-trick seeking It's A Steal could find conditions too testing. DEPUTY DAN tackles 3m for the first time since finishing second in the Albert Bartlett at The Festival last year. He won a Grade 2 over hurdles on this card 12 months ago and can get back to winning ways after being outpaced over shorter at Chepstow last time.
