In depth
Verdict
Hamilton runner-up Falcon's Fire is preferred to New Abbey Angel of the two Keith Dalgleish runners but he’s not won for a very long time, though is well treated as a result. This looks too short for Ballyfarsoon but there are possibilities about Iberica Road. TEWAFEEDJ has two ways of running but something was clearly amiss at Wolverhampton in May. He’s only a pound higher than when winning at Thirsk last summer and a repeat of that effort would suffice here.
