        In depth

        Verdict

        Abraj Dubai has the disadvantage of carrying a penalty for an earlier success over 7f at the track and ran a shocker back here last time. Couldn't Could She won a handicap over course and distance but failed to cope with a big rise in the weights last time while though Pacific Fleet has every chance on his placed effort at York that was last summer and he hasn’t raced since. DAWN DANCER showed improved form when runner-up here on his latest start and the winner has subsequently beaten Love Rat. That form gives Andrew Balding’s colt the edge on collateral form though the latter has gone close since when second over track and trip last week.
