In depth
Verdict
Dead Mans Dante gets the confident vote here with Billie John and Red Man rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Lazy But Lively last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he is taken to score. Billie John rates the main danger on his latest second behind Now Then Sid especially as he loves this track. Red Man has the ability to go close if he puts in a fluent round of jumping but that is a big if. Renvyle has dropped to a handy mark and with his yard in form he is another to note in the market but Dead Man's Dante sets a fair standard and he is taken to score.
