In depth
Verdict
Imprevue has more to do off this mark in this company and Egypt, who has struggled to get home over the minmum, looking a doubtful stayer, this may not take much winning. Dunkerron has been given a fine chance by the Handicapper, but whether he is as effective over this trip as he is over the minimum, remains to be seen. Strong Arrow is fairly straightforward, has no problem with the trip or ground and must take all the beating despite giving weight away all round.
