In depth
Verdict
This is a much better race than the previous contest and Dheddah will have a lot of supporters after a much improved run in novice class behind Diego Cao last time. That winner is useful and the form looks good. He must have a great chance, although that was a step up on his recent efforts. Ela Re and Dere Lynn had a great tussle over the course and distance last time and they may well fight out the finish again. That was a much improved performance from Ela Re on that occasion when he tried to make all. Having been headed he fought back gamely to regain the lead only to be outpaced on the run-in. The winner that day Dere Lynn, saw out every yard of the trip and is clearly going the right way. A seven pound penalty may not prevent a follow up victory here.
