In depth

Verdict

Pop Dancer completed a hat-trick last autumn and is a pound lower than his last winning mark. LIPSINK ran a shocker at Wolverhampton after a very good second at Windsor, a run that would probably be good enough for this. The Princes Poet is 4lb higher than when landing a Class 6 handicap here in May but Secret Handsheikh won a similar grade handicap here in April, though ran poorly at Bath last time.
