Verdict

Who Dares Wins has been a grand servant to connections and is a former winner of the Northumberland Plate but he was three lengths behind the in-form Lucky Deal at Kempton. True Destiny and Stargazer were also unplaced in that contest and Andrew Breslin’s mount is preferred to returning stablemate Watersmeet. Nate The Great has only run here twice before and has placed on both occasions but DAL HORRISGLE is even less exposed. Well regarded as a three-year-old, the Nathaniel gelding has had his problems since but caught the eye at Kempton last time and is on a fair mark at present.
