In depth
Verdict
Mogok Valley beat both Hiatus and Ignac Lamar when successful over track and trip while Celtic Champion had the measure of Danger Alert when scoring at Lingfield. Democracy Dilemma won easily over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton but THE X O (NAP) landed the odds at Southwell with any amount in hand and looks capable of defying a 7lb rise. Novice winners Amy Santiago and Maharajas Express make their handicap debuts and are not out of this either.
