In depth

Verdict

This should chiefly concern Bells Of Ailsworth and FATHER EDWARD. The former is the less exposed but steps up in trip after his third at Market Rasen whereas his likely market rival is proven over the distance. John Ferguson's charge has been a beaten favourite in each of his last three runs but has arguably come up against decent novices and it could be his turn today. It's difficult to make a case for many of the others but Sparkling Ice has improved with every run over hurdles and did win twice on the Flat.
