In depth
Verdict
Several of these have decent claims including Plucky Dip. The latter was beaten only a head at Goodwood recently while Strategic Force can race off the same mark as when placed at Chepstow on his latest start. Paul Hanagan takes over the reins on last month's Haydock third Fullon Clarets while Denzille Lane ran well in a tougher contest at Musselburgh on his penultimate start. The returning Mezel and Vegas Rebel have a shout on last year's best form but course and distance winner BALTIC BRAVE gets another chance back in this lower grade with Ryan Moore helping his cause.
