In depth

Verdict

STRONGLY SUGGESTED beat Cloudy Bob more than three lengths at Warwick with Alberobello a further five lengths away in fifth. Jonjo O'Neill's charge is 7lb higher now but may be worth sticking with now he's found a bit of form. Aunty Ann has been knocking on the door over shorter trips and won over 3m between the flags. Dawnieriver is starting to look well handicapped and James Bowen takes off a further 7lb while Horatio Hornblower is eased in grade and also worth a second look.
