Verdict

The recent reappearance run from Faithisflying should have put him spot on for this and he gets can reverse the form with Dishdasha now that he has the benefit of an outing behind him. Depressed is sure to be a popular choice after winning at Lingfield five days ago. However, he does not strike as one to be going overboard about under a penalty as he has rarely put in two consecutive efforts that have been of a comparable level. Mazindar is unexposed and also has claims on the pick of his efforts. However, the three-year-old struck into himself at Lingfield earlier in the month and needs to conclusively prove his well being. Dishdasha finally came good at Lingfield last month and should again run his race. However, it may have been that Faithisflying just needed the run on that occasion and he is expected to be a lot sharper this time around.
