Verdict
Plenty with a shout in this including Lingfield winner Dynamic Talent while Al Shibli wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Kempton. Dayman won at the latter track in June while Manhattanville, Rocket Yogi and KIT GABRIEL are others to consider on recent form. However, the latter found only one too good at Newbury and was narrowly beaten here on his only previous outing on the all-weather.
