In depth

Verdict

Cayuga is not without a chance dropping back to a mile but has something to find on collateral form with JACK OF DIAMONDS (NAP). The latter was third to the progressive Lunar Deity at Lingfield on his latest start and scored at the same track last month. Westminster is proving best at Southwell where he won off a 5lb lower mark last time and Ruban scored at the same track under today's apprentice on his penultimate start. A winner in Ireland, Rain God has yet to show his best for current connections but has been dropped another 5lb and could bounce back at any time.
