Verdict

Deolali beat Rockley Point when scoring over 6f here a week ago. He’d earlier won over track and trip with previous winner Strawberryandcream behind and can figure once again. But DRAMATISTA gave notice that she’d be winning soon when third over a mile here last time and Roger Fell’s filly gets the vote off her current mark. Captain Corelli also finished closer at the track on his first outing after wind surgery while Three Card Trick and Wots The Wifi Code have both placed at Southwell recently.
