In depth
Verdict
Ironical may be best watched following a lengthy absence but Douchkirk appears to be getting his act together and the mare Emerald Rose may also be improving. OSCAR RAINBOW should have beaten Starlight Air at Southwell 11 days ago but made a mess of the last when a couple of lengths clear and was unable to recover. Dai Burchell's charge is a pound better off and can take his revenge. Clarion Call remains one to be wary of but a market move for Ron would be interesting.
