In depth
Verdict
Busatto won easily over 1m2f at Leicester on Monday but carries a double penalty having also scored at Beverley last week. That could be his undoing and DUBAI DYNAMO is preferred. A winner at Beverley last month, Ruth Carr's charge went close again at Ripon four days ago and drops down a grade for this. Uncle Dermot was only beaten a head at Warwick last time but is upped in class today along with the returning Le Chat D'or while both Marcret and Sound Advice would need to ground to dry out if they're to figure.
