In depth

Verdict

Charlie Appleby’s good strike rate at the track will likely see Shellbrook come in for support and the Godolphin colt is preferred to fellow newcomers Jaayiz and Dragon Kuza. But POCKET DYNAMO showed ability on his debut when narrowly beaten at Brighton last week and the winner has already gone in again. Bob Cowell’s charge gets the vote ahead of stablemate So Hi Speed though Hard Forest is expected to go well back on the all-weather having gone close at Newcastle on her earlier introduction.
