In depth

Verdict

Deansgate finally opened his account when scoring at Doncaster and is upped 4lb. Red Tycoon is now back on a winning mark and went close at Epsom last time while Hernando Torres was beaten only a length at Ripon recently. Whitkirk won at Nottingham earlier this year and drops back in trip while Valentino Boy landed a higher grade contest at Chester in June. ROCK WARBLER was only fifth here last time but has recorded all three wins so far at the track and went close off a higher mark here at the start of the year.
