Verdict

Dalriath can turn the tables on Amethyst Rock, with Mathmagician likely to play a part in proceedings. Amethyst Rock beat Dalriath by a short-head here nine days ago but is now three pounds worse off at the weights and will surely struggle to uphold the form. Dalriath actually looked all set to collect that day but was just edged out near the finish and will be a popular choice to make amends. Mathmagician gets weight off them both but was beaten to the tune of seven lengths and even off this revised mark, will find it hard to make up the leeway. Dalriath has been over hurdles in the past and may be seen over timber again soon, but in the meantime can land the finale.
