In depth
Verdict
Anton Dolin won on fast ground at Worcester in June but was well beaten off a lower mark at Ffos Las nine days ago and is now tried in blinkers. Vimiero also looks too high in the weights while Quadriller is only a plater and likely to find at least one too good again, though appears to have the beating of Edgeworth on Stratford running. OSORIOS TRIAL is lightly-raced and making steady progress. He could have a bit more scope than his rivals and can finally open his account as Good Of Luck appears to be going backwards.
