        In depth

        Verdict

        Dhehdaah, Saif Sareea and Dance World dominate the race and preference is for Dhehdaah to get back on the winning trail. Saif Sareea has been the model of consistency this season, with some notable performances to his credit but the handicapper has taken note. Conditions are in his favour here but his top weight may anchor him. Dance World has to be respected on the strength of his ten length defeat of Stocking Island last time. That was over this course and distance and he looks sure to go well. Dhehdaah was disappointing at Wetherby last time, but ran well for a long way before the desperate ground took its toll and back on a faster surface and dropped two pounds, can lead them home. With the senior pilots on Cheltenham duty, the experienced Warren Marston can outride his more inexperienced rivals and guide Dhehdaah to victory.
