In depth

Verdict

Oh So Audacious scored over track and trip last time and Flying Panther won at Lingfield but both have an outside draw in this. Dynakite has been winning at Kempton but has yet to score on the Turf while Simply Gorgeous, Free Step and Dourado were all well beaten on their latest starts having won earlier. But EYE OF THE WATER was beaten only a head at Bath last week despite being denied a clear run and he gets another chance racing off the same mark.
