      In depth

      Verdict

      Many a chance in a competitive handicap including two that make their handicap bow in Velox and Playbill for Luca Cumani and Sir Michael Stoute respectively. Both should have far more to offer with slight preference for the former who may be better suited to this trip, Dolphin Voyage drew well clear of BEAT THE TIDE when scoring over course and distance in May. The second reopposes here on 7lb better terms for just over three lengths but, more importantly, Connor Beasley takes off a further 7lb with his claim. Michael Dods' charge can reverse running now and take this off bottom weight.
