Verdict
Yarmouth third Dark Side Prince has yet to win on Turf but Ecclesiastical has been in excellent form this summer, though may be a few pounds too high in the weights now. Albegone was behind the latter at Chester in June but came through strongly to score here nine days ago, though carries a penalty in this. Sacred Jewel was just beaten in a valuable handicap at York last year but has finished last in both runs this term. Match Play won at Haydock in June before finishing third at Redcar and Castan was only beaten a nose at Musselburgh last month but we’ll take a chance on DICKIEBURD as the form he showed when third in the Epsom Dash in June is easily the best on offer here.
