In depth

Verdict

This is a desperate affair but we'll give another chance to DISTRICT ATTORNEY given he's fit from the Flat and was second off this mark at the track a year ago. Craigdancer has to be a danger given he failed to appreciate softer going at Carlisle last time. Strictly The One has shown enough to suggest he can also get involved and Jebulani won over 2m1f here in April, though is still 7lb higher.
