In depth

Verdict

In a modest heat, Cameron Noble's claim can help SO MUCH FUN open his account at the eighth time of asking as the top weight has posted his best efforts so far on artificial surfaces. Ripoll won at Kempton in November and has been knocking on the door again lately on Turf. Himalayan Queen won a maiden handicap over 6f at Yarmouth 12 days ago and Ponty Royale has been third twice over that trip on Turf recently. Bryght Boy has been favourite in his last two starts but is just starting to edge up the weights.
