In depth

Verdict

The best race on the card by a long chalk. Solar Deity and Galician are perfectly at home in this company, though both are becoming a little frustrating off their current marks. HAAF A SIXPENCE makes more appeal as he's still improving judged on his recent victory at Newmarket and Ralph Beckett's charge has already won three times on Polytrack. The handicapper is loathed to loosen his grip on Laffan and Verse Of Love was engaged to run here yesterday. Chapter And Verse, Ruwaiyan and Ishikawa step up in class on the back of recent placed efforts and will need to dig a bit deeper if they're to figure in this company.
