In depth
Verdict
Waikiki Waves is well treated in comparison to his chase rating and should be approaching peak fitness. Rollercoster won first time out last season and Doyen Queen appeared to stay the longer trip at Newton Abbot in the autumn. Soloist was third over course and distance in October and is 3lb lower but DRAGOON SPRINGS has been steadily improving and has more scope than most.
