In depth
Verdict
Bijou Dan is taken to get the better of Vamose and Tromp, with Dream Easy best of the rest. As the new Polytrack has bedded down it has been noticeable that an inside draw has been preferable, and although it will not really matter as much over this trip, it is still a plus pint. With that in mind, Bijou Dan, drawn in stall two, gets the vote due to consistency as well. Ian Semple's charge was unlucky in running on his all-weather debut here last month, and will be more at home back over today's trip after being dropped down to a mile at Southwell 10 days ago. Vamose looked one-paced on his first visit here at the start of November and should appreciate the step back up in trip. He was though good enough to run in Ascot's Shergar Cup back in August and is sure to be well placed in time. Tromp has been runner-up on each of his last two starts, and the lightly-raced son of Zilzal is another to note, while Dream Easy appears best of the rest, with Pregnant Pause and Devine Command best watched on their respective reappearance. For the winner we return to Bijou Dan.
