In depth
Verdict
Dishdasha is given the vote here with Tootsy and Mickledo put forward as the main dangers. The selection was disappointing when finishing last behind Vlasta Weiner at Southwell last time but this race is less competitive and he would take plenty of beating based on his previous close third behind Rasseem at Wolverhampton. Tootsy could give our selection the most to do as he remains unexposed and he has shown a modicum of ability in his four races to date. He is eased in grade here but this is his first try over 6f so he may be best watched on this occasion. Mickledo finished in front of our selection last time but he is inconsistent and he was bitterly disappointing the last time he ran here. Eden Star would have claims on his best form but he was disappointing last time and for the winner we return to Dishdasha.
