Race preview
The solid option is ST ERNEY, who has been in excellent form over C&D this season, winning on his penultimate start off 110 before going down bravely next time off 5lb higher. Soft ground shouldn't be an issue for the son of Kadastrof, having won under these conditions over C&D in March 2019. Runner-up on his last five starts, Faustinovick must enter calculations on his return along with Morning Spirit, who was smart over hurdles last season. Illegal Model didn't get far on his chasing bow but much better is expected here, while both No Rematch and New Age Dawning have long absences to overcome.
