In depth
Verdict
None of these have managed a place so far but Dutch Light will likely improve for this extra furlong and Cammy debuted in a tougher maiden race at Doncaster and is preferred to Onaiza. Million Reasons may do better over this shorter trip but a chance is taken on RIVER CHORUS. The latter is the first foal of a winner on the all-weather in France and any support in the betting could prove significant as James Tate sent out a newcomer and winning favourite in last year’s renewal.
