Verdict

It was testing ground when Blown By Wind made a winning start at Windsor and he found one too good under a penalty back at the same track last time. It remains to be seen if DAVE DEXTER fares any better carrying a penalty but he looked to have quite a bit in hand when scoring at Newbury and Ralph Beckett’s colt get the nod ahead of the newcomers. Of those, Mutawaffer cost 160,000gns while Saeed bin Suroor sent out the inaugural winner of this in 2016 and runs Great Respect. Mick Channon’s two-year-olds are in fine form and Two Blondes could go well along with Sirinapha and Dark Shadow.
