Verdict

A tough finale for punters to unravel but DEINONYCHUS, who scored over the course and distance on soft ground in August, showed his liking for testing going in a better race here last week and can overcome a penalty. Cosmic Ray is also a winner over the track and trip though he's more at home on quicker ground while Bruyere has never raced over a trip this far, though was staying on over a mile at Salisbury. Dame Freya Stark's only success came on fast going at Yarmouth while Carey Street has never raced over the trip.
