In depth
Verdict
This looks best left to Wood Ditton fifth Distinction. He is sure to have learnt from that and can outclass his rivals. Almost Twilight, out of a Vaguely Noble mare, is one to keep an eye on for the future, while Morahib looks to face a stiff task against the three-year-olds. I Swear looked a horrible ride at Nottingham on soft ground, and he should do better on this surface. Dimple Chad, could be the fly in the ointment, but he finished behind a stablemate of Distinction at Windsor, and connections will know how they stand with that one.
