In depth
Verdict
Dajraan bolted up in a lowly Class 6 contest at Redcar and has a 12lb hike in the weights to contend with in this higher grade. THE ATTORNEY is preferred as he drops down in class having been beaten less than a length over track and trip and can race off the same mark here. Fangorn went close at Newmarket and makes more appeal than Double Dealing while Sunset Salute and Maraakiz go handicapping for the first time with the latter preferred.
