In depth
Verdict
Keith Dalgleish is again doubly represented and Hipsway looks best of his two but still needs to progress further. Basilicata is down to a career-low mark but needs to find some spark after a couple of low-key efforts, whereas Vision Of Victory has a profile which suggests there's more to come from the daughter of Camelot as she returns from wind surgery. She could prove nicely handicapped but William Haggas is a shrewd placer of his charges when venturing north and SWEET BELIEVER (NAP) sets a strong standard. A dual winner this term, she was arguably unlucky not to complete the hat-trick last time and her apprentice's claim eases her topweight burden.
