Verdict

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX may well have finished closer than fourth here last time if not for his rider losing an iron. Caribbean Sunset won over track and trip in August having earlier been beaten by Kats Bob at Ayr and the latter represents last year’s winning yard. Written Broadcast won over 7f at Wolverhampton back in May while Moralisa placed over the same distance at Yarmouth.
