In depth

Verdict

Explicit failed to maintain the fast pace he set at Musselburgh on his debut and found one too good. He may well be taken on for the lead by Salisbury runner-up Democracy Dilemma in this and that could play into the hands of BLATANT. The latter was beaten by Ocean Cloud at Kempton last time but finished clear of the rest while Self Praise will need luck in-running from his high draw having ran into trouble at Doncaster last week. The latter’s stable companion Glorious Angel and Southwell runner-up Zephina are others drawn wide.
