In depth

Verdict

Dire Straits was backed off the boards at Lingfield last month but showed signs of temperament in going down by a head to Ohio and is 7lb higher back on Turf. Shadows Ofthenight was third in a higher grade race at Goodwood last time but still beaten 15 lengths and Norab appears to have lost the plot while Bold Runner appears to need soft going. ARCAMANTE has been thereabouts off this mark in his last three starts. His stable continues in good form and he can recoup Catterick losses here getting 4lb from Haydock third Lovelocks.
