In depth
Verdict
George Morland ran as though something was amiss at Nottingham, though a post-race examination brought nothing obvious to light. Riffaa Wonder has been running better than form figures would suggest and holds If You Dare on the form book while the lightly-raced Sugauli is back over his winning distance but Dashing Dick continues to frustrate. RIKNNAH (NAP) has won twice over this trip on the all-weather since a close-up fourth in a race on the Rowley Mile which has worked out well and she can complete the hat-trick.
