In depth

Verdict

Sophar Sogood is proving best at Southwell and won over today’s trip at the latter track last month. Dazzling Rock has done his winning over 2m so far and went close over the latter trip at Kempton recently while ARABIAN WARRIOR faded badly in the closing stages over 2m at Nottingham last time. But Saeed bin Suroor’s charge had been in good form over 1m4f before that and looks worth another chance over today’s trip with headgear applied and an apprentice taking 5lb off his back. Chairman Power returned a disappointing favourite over 1m4f here last month and also steps up in trip.
