In depth
Verdict
An uninspiring contest that will not take too much winning as most of these are set to race over an inadequate trip. Therefore there could be some mileage in sticking with the improving Home Fleet, who represents a yard that does well with it's raiders at Nottingham. Dimitri is in danger of becoming disappointing so Tagula Blue and Qabas may pose Henry Cecil's charge bigger problems. However, neither have looked to be resolute in a finish and the unexposed Home Fleet may have too much toe for them over this trip. Brantwood is also interesting for a place and will not have to find too much to chase home the selection he stays the mile on the predicted going.
