In depth

Verdict

Perfect Number failed to cope with a penalty last time having made a winning start at Chelmsford and it remains to be seen how Dawaam fares having his first outing since making a winning debut at Lingfield last year. Nabeyla returned an impressive winner over 7f here back in February but is another returning from a lay-off and that could leave the door open for INFORMED FRONT (NAP). He found only one too good at Kempton last month on his comeback run and John Gosden’s grey will be sharper today. Profound has been hard to keep right and debuts for new connections while Wemyss Ware is a newcomer to note.
