Last year’s winning trainer Mick Appleby teams up with Gina Andrews and Deinonychus, who has won three times here this year though finished 14l behind GAMESTERS ICON at Doncaster last time with Luna Magic even further behind. The winner has completed a hat-trick since meeting testing conditions and though shooting up the weights looks set for a four-timer. Bollin Ted wins his share and looked on the way back at Beverley while anything Serena Brotherton rides in these races has to be respected so Western Dawn could go well at a big price.
