In depth
Verdict
False Id beat the hat-trick seeking MAYKIR here nine days ago but failed to follow up in a classified stakes over track and trip three days later. On 3lb better terms, John Jenkins’ runner should be turning the tables today and can pick up the winning thread again. International Law is having a first run on Fibresand despite having 25 all-weather appearances under his belt. Deb's Delight is also having a first try on the surface but is less exposed. Custard The Dragon was only beaten a head over course and distance two runs ago but has never won beyond 7f.
