Verdict
Golden Maverick has questions to answer regarding his stamina over this sort of trip and Dubai Crystal is upped in distance today. FEUD looks the one to be on, therefore, as he beat a subsequent dual winner over course and distance in July and has placed since at Catterick and Newbury. Bulldog Spirit is another who will have no problem lasting home and Shadow Dance doesn’t look badly treated making his handicap debut.
