In depth

Verdict

Against The Odds should have benefited for the experience of an outing at Kempton in December but may be seen in a better light over further along with Molten Gold. Rasasee has placed in both starts at Wolverhampton and looks to have strong claims but one of the newcomers may prove too good. Dubawi Fifty is bred for middle-distances but Derby entry GREAT RETURN makes more appeal. A half-brother to the smart Watersmeet, he cost 160,000gns and the Godolphin colt is taken to make a winning start.
