Dramatic can land the opener at the expense of Canadian Danehill and Rosein. The selection has already landed his hat-trick and in the process was a winner here over one furlong longer. He looks a versitile individual and even though the handicapper has taken not he still could be one step ahead of him. He has been well placed and that looks to be the case again. Canadian Danehill looks more at home on the all weather these days and completed his hat-trick duringthe winter months. He did well to bounce back at Southwell thereafter and has run with credit on the turf recently so back on his favoured surface he warrants respect. As does Rosein who won three times last year and has run well in defeat on his two most recent runs so is worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Dramatic to win again.
