In depth

Verdict

TURBAN was relatively unfancied over a shorter trip here 10 days ago but ran out a comfortable winner. He is 6lb higher now but might take all the beating again if in the same mood as it’s difficult to see Spiritofchartwell reversing that form. Dawnieriver showed a bit more after a break last time at Market Rasen and is now 16lb lower than when last successful. Hardtorock is a previous course and distance winner and was only beaten a length last time at Newton Abbot, though has been racing over much further. Cahill has done all of his winning over timber in Jersey and showed little on his chasing bow at Bangor.
