All of these step up in trip and three are burdened with penalties. Bartholomeu Dias has been well beaten since scoring at Wolverhampton and Lucky Deal returns to action having won at Chelmsford in November. HINDE STREET has the more recent form with a debut success over 1m2f at Lingfield last month and John Gosden’s Queen’s Vase entry should have no problem lasting home. Blazing Saddles ran poorly at Newbury having made a promising start at Doncaster earlier while Great Beyond will likely finish closer today after a modest effort over a mile on his introduction.
