In depth
Verdict
DYNAKITE is 3lb better in than for future handicaps and has Jamie Powell's 10lb claim in his favour. He was placed in consecutive days during the week and can get off the mark. Breagagh has been in fine form without winning and will appreciate the quicker ground so is greatly respected but International Lady has looked high enough in the weights after completing a double in the spring. The Blue Garter didn't get the best of runs here last time while Dagoda has only run on ground with plenty of give and may do better in the conditions.
