In depth

Verdict

Constancio displayed hitherto unseen wayward tendencies when odds-on at Musselburgh but maybe that was a one-off. He was second over course and distance before winning at Doncaster but DENMEAD’s form is comparable and there may be some improvement following wind surgery and a break. Topofthecotswolds can probably be forgiven his run on very testing ground at Lingfield and has place claims again while Lady Marwah has some ability but Fourth Of July was a well-beaten third of four finishers at Musselburgh. Wapping needs fast going so may do better over the summer once he gains some experience.
