Verdict
TAWAKKOL could only manage third when sent off favourite at York last time. But he drops in class for this and has plenty in hand over stablemate Champagne City on latest running. Deansgate went backwards last time when finishing a couple of lengths behind seventh-placed Prairie Impulse at Ripon so the newcomers Bay Mirage and Rioca may prove bigger threats, especially if the betting speaks in their favour.
