Verdict

It may pay to focus on the those at the head of the weights, with MATER MATUTA, who has been in good form over both sets of obstacles this term the most persuasive option. Will You Win is a long-standing maiden but she can pick up further place money, with Blackstone Cliff another to note over his optimum trip.
