Verdict

Admirable mare ACTINPIECES can win this way around for the first time after another really good effort from this mark at Wetherby last time. Pam Sly's seven-year-old can make the odd mistake, but she generally jumps with enthusiasm and these fences are a little more forgiving. Champagne At Tara has yet to convince over this trip, but he is bred to get it and could emerge as a danger along with Sego Success, who has a bit to prove today and Mystical Knight.
