In depth
Verdict
The three to concentrate on here look to be Devote, Dramatic Quest and Fast Mix with the vote going to the last named. Fast Mix may have only ran two days ago at Ludlow but he made mince meat out of his opposition that day and as long as he has taken that race well he should be able to follow with a quick fire double today. Dramatic Quest landed a seller for connections at Stratford last month and ran well thereafter a Towcester when finishing second to The Last Mohican. He is in form so has to be respected. As does Devote who has proved he has the ability to win races of this nature but more often than not finds one too good for him and that may well be the case again today. So for the winner we return to Fast Mix.
