In depth

Verdict

All of those with experience have probably shown enough to land a race like this. Beltane holds Animato on running here last month and has obvious claims and Freddy Robinson is interesting after being gelded following three promising runs. Shaladar is starting to appear a little exposed and Dungar Glory's chance should be reflected by the market, but ROACH POWER (NAP) is open to plenty of improvement after catching the eye at Carlisle. Travelling smoothly in the race, he stayed on well to claim the runner-up spot and this extra furlong will suit.
