Verdict
Dindin clearly didn’t stay 3m2f at Fontwell 12 days ago but EL PASO WOOD looks the Pipe first string and he can end a frustrating sequence by getting the better of the hat-trick seeking On Springs having been dropped another 3lb since his latest second over track and trip here 10 days ago. Makety finished tailed off at Worcester on her reappearance.
