In depth
Verdict
A low-grade lottery with only a token vote going to DOOGAN’S WARREN given he’s posted a couple of better efforts since joining John Butler. Theydon Spirit has also finished closer here of late and should figure ahead of Voice of A Leader, whose earlier victory at Lingfield came over 1m2f. Pearl Spectre has plummeted down the weights since winning here at the start of the year and may also get involved.
