In depth
Verdict
KODIAC PRIDE passed the post first at Salisbury just three days ago but was disqualified for having lost a weight cloth during the race. He can gain compensation by landing this. Hajjam finished in front of Luxor when narrowly beaten at Ayr and can figure again while Dancing Rave has gone close since scoring over track and trip back in March. Fancy Footings is back on a winning mark and preferred to Amplification.
