In depth
Verdict
Furqaan is upped in class after scoring at Windsor while Destroyer ran poorly last time having earlier won over track and trip. This looks tougher than the Newmarket race Madame Tantzy finished second in last time and DARGEL is preferred. The latter went close at Newbury recently suggesting he’s up to winning off his current mark and gets the vote. Canal Rocks still looks in the handicappers grip but Society Red slips further down the weights looking to end a long losing run and Kodiac Harbour scored off a higher mark over track and trip last year.
