Verdict
Dalvey is a three-times track winner but could only finish third of four, six lengths behind GULLIVER'S TRAVELS over the course and distance two weeks ago. He'll be eight pounds better off but the winner is looking very progressive and should complete a hat-trick before heading for better things. Cozone was regularly placed on the all-weather in the UK and was only beaten a nose on his first start here when attempting to concede the winner 10lb. Ger Lyons has booked a claimer for Phoenix Cowboy who ran in the Irish Cesarewitch at the weekend but hasn't run here since his debut in 2019. Rene Artois has a long absence to overcome but Amortentia ran very well on his only start here and would be a major threat if staying the trip.
