In depth
Verdict
Nicky Henderson's Spring Dawn has been expensive to follow and may again have to settle for a minor role with the vote going to Dick The Taxi, who is preferred to Alleged Slave. Two-and-half lengths separated Alleged Slave and the selection at Huntingdon last month but with Dick The Taxi having confirmed his well being with a win at Wetherby since then, he is preferred on 2lb better terms. Flahive's First and Selberry are both on long losing sequences and of more interest may be David Gandolfo's lightly raced Glengarra. However, Dick The Taxi is in form and gets the vote to reverse earlier running with Alleged Slave.
