In depth

Verdict

A trappy little contest to conclude the day. Prazeres appeared to benefit from the return to 7f at Catterick and should be capable of having a big say from just 2lb higher, while fellow northern raider Right Action is now on the sort of mark from which he can run a big race. Dourado is another up just 2lb for winning last time and can give another good account, though the suggestion is TRAVELLER , who has been used sparingly this year and may benefit from that now that he is dropped back in grade over a trip that suits.
