Verdict
Though AMBRE DES MARAIS failed in her bid for a four-timer at Taunton it was only by a short-head. Another 4lb rise hasn’t done her any favours but she’s at the top of his game and the one to beat. Quiz Master was never getting to Yalltari at Hereford 10 days ago and looks ready for a step up in trip while Kristal Hart is looking exposed but Camron De Chaillac and Windspiel are probably capable of better.
