In depth
Verdict
Outrage was placed yet again when runner-up at Newcastle and finished in front of Saaheq when beaten only a neck here earlier. Verne Castle has been threatening a return to winning ways and is another to consider but a chance is taken on POP DANCER. The latter has to be forgiven a show of temperament here last time but can go close with a repeat of an earlier third in Class 2 company at Wolverhampton. Shamshon’s course and distance success earlier this month came in a much lower grade than this.
