In depth
Verdict
A nine runner field goes to post for this listed race over the flying five furlongs. But on closer inspection not many can be given a chance of winning buty the principals appear to be Deportivo, Bishops Court and Dragon Flyer and we will take a chance on Bishops Court who is a course and distance winner. He was unlucky in running when fourth behind Atlantic Viking last time and if he gets a clear run here he will be hard to beat from what looks a good draw. Deportivo rates the main danger he has won his last two races in good style and his win at Ascot when defeating Baltic King gives him every chance but the draw here has not been that kind to him. Dragon Flyer is another worthy of consideration but he was behind Bishops Court last time and there is no reason why he should reverse the placings. Of the remainder Ego has ability but looks a tricky ride and she needs to improve on her latest efforts to defeat the selection Bishops Court
