In depth

Verdict

Some disappointing types here and most have been showing their form on Polytrack including Multitasking, who finished strongly over 6f last time and may find this a bit sharp. Dermot Weld tries DANZIGER in blinkers after she reappeared following a year's absence with a moderate run on heavy ground at Tipperary. Her early form last season would be good enough for this and she's handed the vote though she finished behind September Lily at Tipperary. Wasabi's House has only raced on Polytrack to date and though showing reasonable form it remains to be seen how she handles Turf.
