In depth

Verdict

Present Lodger had been dropped 8lb when winning at Ayr but is up in the weights again here. DINGO BAY finished behind Marlee Mourinho over course and distance last month but is better off at the weights today and is fancied to turn the tables as he revels on heavy going. Personal Shopper is better than he showed at Down Royal on Boxing Day and may be the pick of the remainder as Glenwood Prince has plenty to prove at present and Decent Lord's best form is over shorter.
