In depth
Verdict
Lion's Domane is a pacey sort who is well drawn and he is taken to make all in the hands of Robert Winston. Bulawayo is a course and distance winner who looked to be coming back to form last time when sixth behind First Maite and he should go well with the stable beginning to hit form. Turku should also go well he was fourth behind First Maite last time and he he will take a hand despite top weight. Foronlymo is also a course and distance winner but the draw has done him no favours here. A move for The Scaffolder would also be interesting as his trainer has a good record here
