In depth
Verdict
Luke Fletcher, who partnered Moyne Pleasure to victory last time, takes over on the other Paul Johnson runner Hormuz. The latter is better when forcing the pace, something he will find difficult from his draw. Course winner Pup's Pride and Samba Beat should go well, but Digger looks the one to beat. He was making his first appearance here last week when running away from the opposition and is open to plenty of improvement on this surface.
