In depth

Verdict

Takeaway has won a couple of similar events at Wolverhampton including his latest start with Arabella Fenella behind. He should figure again but preference is for CAPTAIN DIMITRIOS. David Evans' charge has gone close in better company than this on the turf and was not far away in fourth over 6f here last time in a race that is working out well. Foxtrot Golf was a disappointing favourite over C&D on his latest start but had Sir Lunchalott behind and should confirm the form here.
