In depth

Verdict

John Gosden has a strong hand in this with a couple of previous winners. Raa Atoll won over 1m2f at Nottingham recently and PHOTOGRAPHER scored over the same distance at Chelmsford before going close again at Newcastle. But Frankie Dettori partners the latter and he gets the nod expected to improve for this extra distance. Rashdan opened his account with a win at Southwell while both Mantovani and Natural History showed some ability on their respective debuts and Recordman and Motaraabet are newcomers to note.
