        towards rear, ridden over 1f out, never threatened

        In depth

        Verdict

        Soft ground was a legitimate excuse for Dabbous running below par at Bath. He’d won over track and trip before that and is not easily dismissed. You Saw Brigadoon steps back up in trip but CHURCHILL ROSE is expected to improve for this longer distance having finished a close-up fourth at Kempton and she gets the vote to open her account. Greek Giant and Afloat make their handicap debuts while better is expected this season from Zaakara.
