In depth
Verdict
Bonneval had the measure of Lord Neidin when scoring over track and trip and is 4lb higher while Sevenal has been raised the same amount after scoring at Salisbury and both can figure once again. Home Before Dusk missed out on a hat-trick in a tougher handicap at Hamilton last time and is not out of this but DRACONID has the more scope. Joseph O’Brien’s charge finished behind the progressive Moddy Poddle at Galway on his handicap debut and further progress looks likely. Smooth Spirit has been in good form over 7f with Sugauli and Fox Premier others to note.
