In depth
Verdict
Dixiedoodledragon beat stablemate and favourite DON’T FIGHT IT by a short-head at Musselburgh and that pair lock horns once again. But the latter re-opposes on better terms and it could be his turn today. Howyadoin finished well behind the above pair and is closely matched with Majil on earlier running at Southwell while Stormy Pearl’s earlier win at Hamilton came over 6f. Mystical Dreams is preferred of those handicapping for the first time.
