In depth
Verdict
Palawan is expected to return to winning ways at the expense of Texas Gold and Fort McHenry. Andrew Balding's charge was beaten by the draw at Doncaster last week finishing 14th when a well backed favourite. Prior to that setback he landed back to back prizes at Salisbury and Folkestone and another visit to the winners enclosure looks on the cards. Texas Gold is another prolific winner who makes a quick return to the racecouse after running well at Goodwood on Saturday. Meanwhile bottom weight Fort McHenry has to be respected following wins at Redcar and Sandown. Plenty of inform runners, but it has to be Palawan to help win back the punters money.
