Jack Dexter is a rare winner nowadays but ran well at Newcastle last time and has finished ahead of both Confessional and Gamesome recently. My Name Is Rio scored over track and trip in soft ground last month but was beaten off today’s higher mark back here last time while Royal Brave included a course and distance success in his earlier hat-trick when Invincible Ridge was third. El Hombre’s earlier double came over 6f so the vote goes to RURAL CELEBRATION, who found one too good in a Listed sprint over track and trip on only her second start of the current campaign.
