Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Very First Blade was helped by an apprentice's allowance when heading SIR GEOFFREY on the line over track and trip earlier this month. The latter can take his revenge on today's revised terms and land this for last year's winning trainer. Hab Reeh has yet to win here but should be sharper for a couple of recent runs and finished ahead of Lucky Mark last time while Coiste Bodhar won over 6f here in November and the previous course and distance winner is only 2lb higher for this.
