        chased leaders, ridden 2f out, unable to quicken inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        Ron Harris is doubly represented and Fantasy Justifier shouldn’t be ignored even though Powerful Dream is likely to start at shorter odds after a fourth over 5f here last week. Swissal is preferred to veteran Kinglami of John O’Shea’s pair but Yarmouth runner-up Grey Galleon makes more appeal. Desert Land won at Lingfield earlier this month but EQUIPPED was only beaten half-a-length and is now 2lb better off so is fancied to take revenge. Madrinho and Soldier's Son weren’t far behind either and could also play a part.
