In depth

Verdict

The Blue Bower was placed over 6f on a couple of occasions in November while Luscifer won over today’s trip at Southwell in February and is 5lb higher. Van Dijk went close over track and trip between his more usual poor efforts while Celestial Wood was well beaten in third here last time and goes handicapping for the first time along with DILITHIUM. The latter has been gelded since last in action and better is expected at this lowly level on his return.
