In depth

Verdict

None of these can be recommended with any confidence. Irish import Italian Legace didn't cut much ice at Ludlow on his debut for a new yard but has claims at the weights, while Railway Rico has a chance on his fourth in a bumper at Down Royal last year. However, UNWANTED GIFT showed a bit more when runner-up over fences at Huntingdon last time and gets the token vote reverting to hurdling. On The Right Path has bits of form that give him a shout and Lilac Belle's best effort is a sixth at Lingfield in November.
