In depth

Verdict

Plenty with claims in the closing contest including Newcastle winner Dreamofdiscovery though he’s upped in class today. Kempton third Buckland Beau has yet to win on Turf in 17 attempts but Woody Bay has a shout off his current mark after placing at Newcastle. Several should be sharper for recent comeback runs with Mango Chutney preferred to Edgar Allan Poe but the speculative vote goes to the less exposed VIVE LA DIFFERENCE returning to a mile having finished third at Doncaster recently.
