Verdict
Dazinski is starting to look very well handicapped and can be forgiven his run on soft ground at York last time. He has place claims here as does De Rigueur, second over this trip at Kempton before finding only Tiger Cliff too good over 1m6f at Newmarket. Body Language is better than she showed when favourite at Salisbury while York third Brockwell will be a factor if handling the step up in distance and the consistent Beyond Conceit can't be ignored, though finished behind Oriental Fox last time. Sun Central had CASTILO DEL DIABLO back in fifth when making a winning reappearance at Salisbury but David Simcock's charge had little luck in-running that day and can reverse the form on 5lb better terms and take this. Palazzo Bianco won at Goodwood last month but this looks more competitive.
