In depth
Verdict
Champ De Gane has returned a beaten favourite here the last twice now and found Netywell too good over track and trip on the first of those occasions. The latter has since been beaten by Lake Takapuna here along with Duty Calls but OUT ON THE TEAR may prove the one to side with. He’s back on a winning mark having finished second at Southwell on his reappearance and he drops back down in class today. Getaway Luv won over a longer trip at Catterick in November while Atlantic Dancer scored over course and distance at this time last year.
