In depth

Verdict

The fourth race on the Towcester card is a very poor and open event but hopefully DOLLYDO can get his head in front from M'lady Eliza and Investment Wings. The selection looks to be improving with racing and his latest third at Chepstow reads very well in the context of this race. Dollydo pulled 26 lengths clear of the fourth horse that day and if improving with today's quicker conditions should prove tough to beat. M'lady Eliza disappointed on her last run but she can be forgiven for that as conditions were very heavy. On her start before that flop she was not beating out of sight behind Tanto Faz and today's race is a huge drop in class. She will also enjoy hearing her hoofs rattle off the quicker ground. Investment Wings is a course and distance winner and if recapturing the form he should three runs back he could go close. Jonjo O'Neil is represented by Mauritino who has been disappointing and any market move should be noted.
