In depth
Verdict
You Saw Brigadoon just got the better of Dabbous when scoring over track and trip but Lucky Fifteen never threatened the winner when runner-up at Newbury. Clarko's Back won over a mile at Kempton and High Court Judge landed a double over the same trip earlier in the year. Serengeti Sunset disappointed at Beverley but KODIMAN may improve for this longer trip and gets a speculative vote. Penzance and Covert Legend make their handicap debuts in something of a lottery.
