In depth
Verdict
Dawn Piper can give David Loder another all-weather winner, with Just Fly, Chateau Nicol and Hurrican Coast all expected to make their presence felt. David Loder has wasted no time in getting back amongs the winners since moving to his new premises in Newmarket, and looks highly likely to add to his tally with Dawn Piper, who gave him his first success when all the rage for a maiden 17 days ago. Jamie Spencer was on board then, having returned from Hong Kong, and will be confident of a follow-up. The four-year-old faces some decent opponents, but should not fear any of them, although the ultra-consistent Hurricane Coast will merit each-way support, as he does not go down without a fight. Just Fly found Chateau Nicol too strong over six furlongs here last time but was a bit unlucky in running. However, he meets his conqueror on slightly worse terms so is no good thing to turn the tables. Gaye Kellaway had high hopes for Grey Pearl two years ago, but after disappointing in a French Group 1 race, the mare had her sights considerably lowered, without success it has to be said. She finally came good again here last week and is worth noting. The one that they all have to beat though is Dawn Piper, who gets a confident vote.
