In depth

Verdict

A poor race but one in which He's A Rascal has obvious claims over Romany Dream and Brigadier du Bois. Alastair Lidderdale's charge ran a respectable race here two weeks ago and under stronger handling, he has to go very close. Romany Dream has won twice at Warwick over the minimum trip. He would not want to see any overnight rain as all his better form is with a sound surface. Brigadier du Bois is a long standing maiden. He invariably plugs on in his races without troubling the judge. Lady Maranzi was second in a Uttoxeter seller after a long absence from the track. She has disappointed since although some might suggest that this race is little better than a seller. Plater, Faraway Echo has an impressive jockey booking so is cautiously noted in the market. A distinctly ordinary race and one in which He's A Rascal has shown enough form in the past to warrant out interest.
