In depth

Verdict

SNOW BAY found only the useful Nazreef too good here last time. Twice a winner over C&D, Dandy Nicholls' gelding looks ready to strike and can confirm superiority with Follow The Flag and Elusive Fame. El Dececy has been in good form here of late and remains on a winning mark despite a 6lb penalty for his recent success while Unbreak My Heart has the help of an apprentice here and could figure if handling the surface. Ours won a claimer here yesterday but will find this tougher if taking his chance.
