In depth
Verdict
Dawerann has run twice on the Flat since finishing second over course and distance in July but is 5lb higher today. The trip is an unknown for Green Zone but he’s won here four times and was biting off more than he could chew over an inadequate 2m last time here. Ebony Rose has only won a maiden so far but could be worth another try over a staying trip while Charlie Papa Lima won over 3m between the flags. PIKARNIA has twice only found one too good here off this mark. This looks his trip and a second career victory is overdue.
