In depth

Verdict

SKALLYWAG BAY (NAP) won on the Polytrack here before beaten only a neck at Windsor and has more scope than So Smart. The latter ran well at Haydock last time but has just the one win in 28 starts while Dalby Forest is unexposed on this surface having won at Chelmsford early in the year. Lipsink finished well ahead of Just That Lord when successful at Windsor last summer and is back on a winning mark but Dundalk winner Dynamite Katie has shown little since switching trainers.
