In depth

Verdict

The British Lion and Dollar Value step up from 6f with the former making more appeal on his second at Newcastle last month. Both Haverland and Artieshow finished thereabouts over track and trip on their respective latest starts with the latter preferred to stablemate and newcomer Falling Wood. But another newcomer in MOVE SWIFTLY may prove good enough in this given she’s a half-sister to a winner on the all-weather in France and the Haggas yard has a fine strike rate at the track.
