In depth

Verdict

An Saighdiur just lasted the 6f to land a moderate maiden here in October but should improve as that was his first start since June. Iron Major landed a C&D handicap under Johnny Murtagh in October and though beaten subsequently he found trouble in-running and can make his presence felt. Mountain Coral always does his best and is slipping to a fair mark nowadays but DARING MAN, whose three Polytrack runs have resulted in one victory and who is on a 6lb lower mark than his turf rating, looks the one to be on especially with his pilot taking off a further 7lb. Ben Curtis is certain to give Dash Back a good ride though his mount isn't the most consistent of performers.
