Verdict
Dickens won at Wolverhampton last month and Beautiful Crown showed further progress to land a double with a victory at Windsor. Rewired scored over track and trip earlier and a host of others also won their penultimate starts including Ziggy, Just Jacob, Dual Identity and Crema Inglesa. WALLEM hasn’t raced since beaten in a higher grade at Newmarket in April and has been gelded since. But this looks anybody’s race and he gets a speculative vote.
