EXPERT WITNESS stuck to her task really well when third at Leicester a month ago and, unexposed over this trip, she seems sure to give it a good go. There's depth to this race though, with Ranger Thunderbolt and Lunar Landscape, first and fourth respectively in a 1m handicap here recently, a couple of potential threats.
