In depth

Verdict

Denzille Lane went backwards last season having gone close at York in July. But Twin Turbo made all to score over track and trip in January and Loumarin made most of the running when scoring at Kempton last year. The latter pair should ensure a decent pace in this which will suit MIDDLE EAST PEARL, who romped home by four lengths over course and distance at the start of the month. James Tate's filly gets the vote to go in again given Foxtrot Knight is now 12lb higher than his recent win at Catterick.
