In depth
Verdict
Chosen World returned a disappointing favourite here last time having gone close at the track on a couple of occasions before that. Lady Dauphin had placed over today’s trip before struggling over 1m2f while PALAZZO has done all his winning on the Fibresand at Southwell so far. But he finished runner-up over course and distance on his last visit and gets another chance back on this surface. Blazing Dreams is back on a winning mark but hard to catch right while Curfewed has struggled since winning here in September.
