Verdict
Mick Channon experimented in running Wonderful World back over 5f at Windsor but this is clearly his best trip. Though he probably prefers softer going than he’ll encounter today he does handle good ground. Roman Dragon is already something of a course specialist but he has been racing over further lately and has an outside draw. Beauzon was having a first run since January when third at Redcar and will strip fitter here but ANOTHER INVESTMENT would have strong claims on his second at Haydock in May and there have been legitimate excuses for both runs since.
