Verdict
Ejtilaab finished ahead of Lexington Dash when scoring at Epsom and the latter had earlier beaten Magical Spirit when winning at Doncaster. York runner-up Danzan finished in front of both Woven and Staxton on the Knavesmire but the latter won this off a higher mark in 2019 and may reverse running. Mondammej returns to 6f after a fourth in the Epsom Dash when ahead of Justanotherbottle but Fleeting Prince is proving hard to to win with. STREAMLINE ran below par last time with the usual hood removed but the headgear is back on today and Clive Cox’ charge won a stronger handicap than this at Wolverhampton in March.
