In depth

Verdict

Betsalottie won narrowly at Windsor last month but that was on soft going. Garcon De Soleil has improved lately and could go well from near the foot of the weights. Raashdy chases a four-timer but was well beaten on his only previous start around here. Hong Kong Joe and London Grammar make some appeal but this can go to THE GAY CAVALIER, who is probably better over shorter but does have Rossa Ryan’s claim in his favour and hasn’t competed in this low a grade in almost two years.
