Plenty with claims in this but DOMMERSEN gets the vote having already won a handicap. He scored at Wolverhampton last time and John Gosden’s charge is preferred to Chester Street, who has come up short in a couple of handicaps so far including at Leicester recently. Wild Hacked was beaten at Haydock on his latest start but is dropped in class for this while it remains to be seen how maiden winners High Draw and Star Blaze cope having won at Wetherby and Newmarket respectively.
