In depth
Verdict
WHITEFEATHERSFALL is one of the more exposed but wasn’t beaten far when fourth in a handicap at Windsor and may prove best of these back at this level. Dream Harder has shown enough in a couple of starts on the all-weather to suggest he can figure if handling the ground and the latter comment also applies to Kempton fifth Le Forban. Majalh is fitted with a tongue-tie after moderate efforts at Sandown and Newmarket and is preferred to Desert Miracle.
