In depth

Verdict

It's over a year since DALTON HIGHWAY won but he's 3lb lower now and, with his stable going well and Ben Coen's claim to help, he's taken to get back to winning ways. Lady Camelot hasn't won since her debut success last September but she's been running well in better races than this. Endless Tangent looked suited by heavy ground when beaten a head in a course and distance maiden so further rain would do no harm but Maze Runner has gone up 3lb for being beaten eight lengths at Listowel. Faughhill had been running well before a moderate effort at Leopardstown while Extrasensory has never raced beyond 1m2f.
