In depth

Verdict

A desperate affair which won’t take much winning. Anton Dolin has been running well enough without suggesting a victory was imminent. Iniesta has a similar profile but his win-to-run ratio is off-putting. Centreofexcellence has James Bowen doing the steering but is still 7lb higher than when winning at Bangor in the spring. Ladies Dancing isn’t getting any younger but could still figure in a race like this. ELYSIAN PRINCE is not entirely straightforward but usually runs well around here so gets a tentative vote.
