In depth

Verdict

Egyptian Lord should appreciate the return to the Polytrack and Peter Grayson's gelding is marginally preferred to Duke Of Milan and Charming Ballet. The last mentioned was well held in handicaps on the turf at the end of last season but has now been given a chance by the handicapper for his return and Gary Moore's gelding has to be respected. Jim Best's Fastrac Boy ran better here last time and has claims on that evidence, while Wibbadune has struggled against the handicapper since winning his maiden. Duke Of Milan has dropped to a decent mark now and has to be considered but preference is for Egyptian Lord.
