Verdict

L'Inganno Felice beat little to win his maiden over track and trip but has been raised only 1lb as a consequence. But DIALOGUE beat tougher rivals, including the re-opposing Swift Cedar and Dansili Dutch, to land a claiming race here earlier in the month and he should go close again in this company. Menelik won at Lingfield on his penultimate start but is upped in class along with Beverley plating race winner Aneedh.
