      In depth

      Verdict

      None of these have looked like winning recently though both Dave Dexter and Cowboy Soldier are dropped in class and may do better as a consequence. Chitra finished a bit closer at Newmarket last time and is preferred to the returning Secret Potion in this grade but a chance is taken on JAMES WATT. The latter failed to win last year but went close off higher marks on more than one occasion and slips further down the weights today.
