      Verdict

      Delgany Monarch may need this and Dragoon Springs hasn’t shown much so far while it’s even more difficult to make a case for Duration. GETALEAD escapes a penalty for winning again under David Prichard at Warwick on Wednesday and it may be worth sticking with Claire Harris’ gelding in his current mood as fellow hat-trick seeker Hidden Depths carries 7lb extra. Thirtyfourstitches has gone up 4lb for winning in a lower grade last time at Fontwell but handicap debutant Baddesley looks a threat with further improvement likely to be forthcoming.
