In depth

Verdict

EASTERN DRAGON is a winner without a penalty having picked-up an apprentices race at Goodwood last week. He's won over this longer trip before and makes more appeal than Midaz. The latter has gone close over a mile at Southwell recently and makes his Turf debut today. Tenbridge is a course and distance winner and is back on a winning mark while Bountybeamadam has dropped 5lb since landing a maiden race here in September. All three of Lady Bayside's wins to date have come at this track so she's worth a second glance on her return to action.
