In depth
Verdict
Dallas Cowboy looks the best of those with chasing experience in this and he was far from disgraced on his reappearance here three weeks ago, though the going will be softer than ideal. BLUE N YELLOW is tackling fences for the first time and has been on the go for a while but Tom George appears to have found a good opportunity for his six-year-old. Seapoint has produced a couple of decent performances over timber for Joanne Foster at Newcastle but Master Vintage is unlikely to be improving aged 11.
