In depth
Verdict
Thapa VC has a hood added to cheekpieces and a tongue-tie today but has no form on going this soft. Nottingham third Ardbraccan is interesting, however, and Mr Fustic and My Ambition both arrive on a hat-trick. Just beaten here last October off a 5lb higher mark, JADE COUNTRY attracted market support in a higher grade at Newbury 11 days ago. He only finished fourth but had plenty of excuses and is back over his optimum trip today. Valkyrian has been quite lightly raced and could also go well.
