In depth
Verdict
A big field but no recent winning form to go on. Comedy House was beaten only a nose at Kempton last month and should be in the mix with a similar effort while Celtic King won this last year off a lower mark and could also figure. Broxbourne finished ahead of Gabrial's Hope when fourth at Wolverhampton and Formidable Guest showed a bit more last time. A speculative vote goes the way of David Elsworth's filly HANDSOME MOLLY as she's likely to improve for the longer trip on her handicap debut and this won't take much winning.
