A headscratcher to deal with and one that can go the way of Dorchester, who faces staunch opposition from Full Spate, Willheconquertoo and Pine Bay. Dorchester is often well backed without success but he showed his first form for some time when narrowly failing over course-and-distance behind another gamble in the form of Chatshow. Dorchester is impossible to predict but if the gaps appear late, he can take full advantage. Full Spate was beaten on that occasion by our selection and looks to have it to do to reverse form out of stall number one. Willheconquertoo is another who will be played late in the race. He ran well to be third at the track in June and goes particularly well for tonight's rider Richard Hughes. Pine Bay probably has the best of the draw. He wasn't beaten far by the much improved Saxon Lil over a longer trip and the market will doubtless tell its own tale. Majorca was the subject of a failed gamble at Lingfield. He had a poor draw on that day but there seemed to be few excuses at Epsom next time out. Sir Edwin Landseer has been busy in Dubai and is a light of his former self. Awake has tumbled down the rankings of late and could be worth a speculative look given his draw. Mirasol Princess, who has good form here over five furlongs, looks to be just about best of the rest from her favourable draw. Dorchester secures the verdict in our finale.
