In depth

Verdict

A weak affair and marginal preference goes to Ambience Lady while Cyanara rates the main danger ahead of The October Man. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was well below her best last time but had previously shown plenty of ability in the context of this race when a close runner-up in a similar event at Plumpton last month and a reproduction should suffice against some disappointing rivals. Cyanara has proved frustrating and appears on the downgrade judged on recent efforts while The October Man hails from a powerful yard but has shown precious little to enthuse over so Ambience Lady looks the one to be on.
