In depth
Verdict
Siena Star has been a model of consistency in similar company of late and looks sure to give another good account while Sheer Focus came back to form at Carlisle last time and should appreciate the step up in trip. Calling Dot Com has a narrow verdict over Siena Star when the pair clashed on the all-weather at Lingfield (now 5lb better) and can't be discounted along with the well-treated Lennel who sports blinkers for the first time.
