Verdict
Plenty with claims but DINGLE (NAP) found only the progressive Zealot, who runs in the previous race, too good at Southwell and can take advantage of a slide down the weights. Imperial Command finished behind the selection but Star Shield and Umneyaat weren’t beaten far on their respective latest starts at Southwell. Fast Style won here before going close again at Wolverhampton and Roudemental has a shout back at this venue.
