In depth
Verdict
Palamon has failed to progress from a debut second at Newmarket a little under a year ago and it’s difficult to envisage that he’ll be good enough to give 11lb, including Adam Farragher’s claim, to the progressive EASTERN CHARM, who won on soft going at Yarmouth in April. Dicko The Legend missed the break when well beaten on his handicap debut and may be suited by the extra furlong.
