In depth

Verdict

Most of these have been very disappointing but a return to Turf can see LAKE CAUSEWAY, still a maiden after 18 starts, finally get off the mark as he was only beaten a short-head over track and trip in February. Act Of Reason has produced his best form on Dirt while Yukon Star's best runs in the UK came on Polytrack and Tapeta. Abshrek was beaten eight lengths when placed over track and trip three weeks ago but Act Of Reason was only beaten a neck in a Jebel Ali handicap last time.
