Verdict
This is easily the most competitive race on today’s card. Dequall stays well and is only a pound higher than his last winning mark. Bobbie The Dazzler is one of three course and distance winners in the line-up and he got the better of Bird On The Wire here last month, though there is little between the pair on today’s terms. Cresswell Queen and Atomic Angel are the others proven over track and trip while the going should be ideal for Onestepatatime. Great Raffles won recently over 3m at Wetherby and The Wise Traveller is still relatively unexposed but we’ll take a chance on BONNY HOUXTY as she hasn’t been beaten far the last twice and drops further down the ratings.
