In depth
Verdict
This looks wide open as it would be no surprise to see Caddyhill bounce back to winning ways while the penalised Wasdell Dundalk won with a degree of comfort here last week and will be higher in the weights from next week. There isn’t much to choose between CASTEL GANDOLFO and Soldier On Parade on their run together here 17 days ago and the two four-year-olds could fight out the finish here with Master Artist having only won a seller at Southwell and Percy hard to fancy on recent efforts.
