In depth

Verdict

Several with claims in this including SECRET DOOR, who returned to form with a second over a longer trip here last time when ahead of Little Miss Poet - Harry Fry’s charge can go one better today. Lord Topper has a shout on his second at Warwick back in September and Mister Fizz will find this easier than when third at Cheltenham recently. Garo De Juilley fell behind the selection last time but Balibour had been thereabouts before struggling at Taunton.
