Verdict
ARMATTIEKAN has returned from a two-month break in fine form having won easily at Musselburgh before finishing runner-up at Sedgefield when Brian Hughes’ dropped his whip in the closing stages. He looks to have an easier task in this and gets another chance. Dido has a shout on earlier placed efforts though the prolific point-to-point winner has yet to score under Rules while Getaway North scored over a shorter trip here at the start of the year and is preferred to Diamond Rock racing off the same mark today.
