In depth

Verdict

Sunsetten isn't the safest of jumpers but did little wrong at Market Rasen last time and looks certain to go well. ROYAL MAX, a winner over hurdles at Wetherby in May, had plenty of success in that sphere and looks just the type his trainer does so well with. He can make a winning start over fences. Mayberry is another making her chasing bow and she's bred for the job and though Irish recruit Numen might just need his first start for new connections he's no forlorn hope despite still being a maiden over jumps.
