In depth
Verdict
AWESOME DUDE has improved for being gelded and a switch of trainers. He won by a wide-margin under Oisin Murphy at Kempton earlier in the week and will likely be raised by more than today’s 5lb penalty in the future. Pioneering has gone up a further 3lb for finishing runner-up at Chelmsford while Noble Account is usually thereabouts but is still searching for a first success. Subliminal is not badly treated if back to his best and preferred to both Music Major and Red Gunner.
