In depth

Verdict

LEYTE GULF finished with a flourish but found one too good over C&D last time. Chris Bealby's charge can confirm running with Money Money Money, who finished three lengths behind him on that occasion, and go one better today. War Of The Roses doesn't win often these days but he scored over 1m4f here on his latest start and has been raised only 2lb in the weights, while Little Richard had Swords behind when third here on his latest start and along with Light The City can't be discounted.
