In depth

Verdict

Calevade won over a longer trip at Chelmsford at the start of the year and Nearly There beat Urban Spirit when scoring over 2m at Newcastle in March. Ember's Glow is regularly placed on the all-weather but has yet to win on Turf while Ateescomponent hasn’t won anywhere as of yet. Kaylen's Mischief was partnered by an apprentice when winning at Chepstow last year and is effectively 9lb higher today. Paula Muir steered FEEBI to victory at Thirsk in September and the latter gets a speculative vote in a weak handicap.
