In depth
Verdict
Winged D'Argent loves to get his toe in and gets the nod here, with Bogside Theatre considered and both Dr Sharp and Broughtons Revival others unders scrutiny. The selection has won in Listed company at this trip in the past and scored at Nottingham off just 4lb lower on his penultimate start. He probably went to quick too early last time when he was beaten on heavy ground, but that is a different surface and back on soft he looks the one to be on. Broughtons Revival is 7lb higher than when recording a narrow success last time. She may have more to come over this longer trip, though that is not obvious on pedigree. Dr Sharp is a standing dish in these sort of contests and as one who acts with plenty of give and who is 4lb below his highest winning mark, he can go close. Bogside Theatre was a Hamilton winner on good to soft in July and although beaten twice since she is lightly raced and may be open to more improvement, but preference here is for Winged D'Argent.
