In depth

Verdict

Sufi had an easier chance at Wolverhampton last month but only manage third and Flight Of Fantasy failed to land the odds at Lingfield last time. Waterville Dancer may improve past both of the above having placed in both starts so far but a couple of Derby entries make more appeal. Face The Facts returns to action having run well for second over a mile at Nottingham on last year’s debut but with Saeed Bin Suroor’s yard in such good form, it could pay to take a chance on the newcomer GLASSY WATERS. The first foal of a Graded winner in North America, the Godolphin colt may prove good enough.
