In depth
Verdict
DORKING LAD has been unlucky not get his head in front so far and he’ll never have a better opportunity than this. Gary Moore’s charge led until the second last in a Grade 3 handicap at Sandown last month. Noble Savage has only run once over hurdles so far so has a bit of scope with a similar comment applying to both Goudhurst Star and Sixty Dollars More
