In depth

Verdict

A few of these return from a lay-off. Six Strings drops in class on his first start since July and was narrowly beaten in novice company here before that. Rapid Rise was runner-up over track and trip in June and Wild Acclaim finished second over 5f at Hamilton during the summer. But DEALER’S CHOICE has the more recent form with placed efforts both here and at Chelmsford last month and Roger Varian’s filly gets the vote on that form. Glorious Politics is another to consider expected to improve for last month’s debut at York.
