DEE EX BEE probably hasn’t made the anticipated progress since making a winning debut at Goodwood but he’s dropping back in class today and has his favoured conditions. He may take some pegging back if grabbing an early lead. Regimented was just beaten in a decent nursery over this trip at Doncaster last month so looks a danger while The Revenant beat a good yardstick on ground with some give on debut at Haydock. Veejay has already won three times this year but looks held by the selection on Haydock running while the equally-exposed Move Over looks to have a bit to find on these terms.
