Verdict

COVEY is penalised for winning easily at Newmarket but has little to fear from today’s opposition on what little they have shown so far. Keeponbelieving may prove best of them having finished closer here last time while Noble Captain improved at Chelmsford without looking like threatening. Dancing Cloud debuts for new connections having failed to figure in a couple of starts in Ireland last year.
