In depth
Verdict
Dallool, Absolutelythebest, Jomacomi and Asiatic are the principles here and we will make Dallool the choice. The selection won well when defeating Woolly Back at Haydock last time, but this big scopey horse looks as though he still has plenty of improvement in him, and as his yard is in form he is nominated to win. Absolutelythebest was a good second behind Lochbuie in a handicap last time but he will need to improve on that effort off this mark to win this more competitive affair. Jomacomi won well on his AW debut before finishing third on turf last time behind Rarefied. That form has since been franked and he has definite place claims. Asiatic was second last time at Chester and with this more galloping track sure to suit he will be a danger to all. But Dallool is one of the least exposed in the field and is taken to continue on the upward curve
