In depth

Verdict

Bollywood and Drink To Me Only catch the eye here, with the vote going to Bollywood. Claimed out of a Lingfield race over today's trip last time, Bollywood looked a much improved performer there and, even though he has to carry a six-pounds penalty now, he is set to rise in the ratings by a further seven pounds and connections are attempting to make hay while the sun shines with the former Michael Jarvis inmate. Gelded in the autumn, Drink To Me Only clearly looked an improved performer when winning over six furlongs last time and, although he steps up in trip today, he looks to be one of the major players today. Much as some of the others have shown some Turf promise, overall they need to improve to play a part today, although a drop back to seven furlongs today should show Royal Embrace in a better light. Finally, Dream Factor's best Turf efforts would give him a chance but, for today, Bollywood looks the one.
