In depth

Verdict

Ermyn's Emerald is 0-23 but not without ability and could make the frame again here. Gary Moore’s pair, Ballydoyle and Jumping Cats, must have decent claims while Andapa was second off this mark over course and distance in November. SIXTIES SECRET didn’t enjoy much luck in-running here last month and Sheena West’s mare is back on the same mark as when successful here in the autumn so looks the one to beat.
