A winner at Wolverhampton, DANDYS DERRIERE is fitted with a tongue-tie having struggled in a higher grade at Ascot and should be thereabouts at the finish facing only moderate opposition today. Thapa VC wasn’t beaten that far despite finishing only fifth over track and trip on his debut and looks best of the remainder unless Kartvelian or Baileys Afterparty show a big improvement. Pleinmont and Ronan Accuser are newcomers worth a second glance in the betting.
