In depth
Verdict
Daschas was beaten only a head over track and trip last week though Moonraker was in close attendance and that pair are hard to separate. Dancing Warrior ended last year with a placed effort in Listed company in France but has been rested since running at Sandown in April and SHAMSON is preferred. The latter ran well for third in a higher grade sprint at Newmarket recently and should go close with a similar effort. Our Oystercatcher was winning off a similar mark last year and arrives in better form than Leo Minor.
