Verdict
Geranium won at Sandown last month and should go well again while Detachment has been thereabouts of late after slipping down the weights. The same comment applies to Elhafei, placed on his last couple of outings, but DELPH CRESCENT is preferred. The latter is also looking to take advantage of a slide down the handicap having won off an 8lb higher mark last season and Richard Fahey’s charge gets the vote having finished closer at Ripon on his latest start. Bhodi was due to run at Newmarket yesterday but has a bit to prove over this far if taking part.
