In depth
Verdict
Century Dancer has shown nothing since winning at Wolverhampton in March and the only other winner in the field, Titan Diamond, looks up against it off his current mark. Cathcart Castle has claims on his earlier placed efforts, while Wodian and Loose Quality have scope for improvement, but a speculative vote goes to another lightly-raced sort in WONG AGAIN. Her best effort so far came at Wolverhampton in October and John Hills' filly might just be good enough back on the Polytrack for her handicap debut.
