In depth
Verdict
Susie Javea beat subsequent winner Van Dijk in a classified event here last time but both Geography Teacher and Sweet Angel have to put below-par recent efforts behind them. Several are looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights including Three C's though the latter has struggled on the Polytrack recently but Best Tamayuz posted a better effort here on only his second outing after a lengthy absence. LIGHTNING ATTACK was beaten only a head at Kempton on his latest start and, having scored off a 15lb higher mark over course and distance at this time last year, Tony Newcombe’s charge may prove the one to side with.
