In depth
Verdict
In a very competitive finale, recent winners Fascination Street and Zafarshah are worth considering here and we will side with the first named, Dagola could prove best of the remainder. Michael Jarvis's filly steps up in trip after comfortably accounting for Indiana Blues at Catterick last time. She is possibly even better at this distance, and as the runner up was successful earlier this week, her form is rock solid and she should go close to following up that victory. Zafarshah was most impressive when landing a classified event at Chepstow last time, and looks on a fair mark back in handicap company. Dagola has put in some decent efforts this season without quite getting his head in front. He should run his race, but may have to settle for place money again. So not the easiest of races to fathom, but Fascination Street is in top form and can land the double.
