        chased leader, ridden over 1f out, led inside final furlong, headed towards finish

        In depth

        Verdict

        Most of these are old foes and Pockley beat Dandy Dinmont over track and trip last time having earlier found BADRI too good when the latter scored in this grade here. Ruth Carr’s charge also beat Venturous, The Bell Conductor and May Sonic on that occasion and another bold bid is expected as that was his first outing since October. Water Of Leith won over 6f here when last in action while Bergerac also drops down in trip and Nelson Gay has switched yards.
