In depth

Verdict

Stamina and willingness for a battle are the factors to look for here and, as Dalus Park has all the right attributes, he is just preferred over Kadouko, Devil's Run and Jacdor. The selection will find this a much less demanding surface than he did for his comfortable success at Towcester nine days ago. However, he was always travelling better than his rivals on the final circuit and could have been called the winner a long way from home. Assuming that race does not come around too quickly for Dalus Park, he may have too much determination for Devil's Run, who has solid form claims but has it to do at the weights.
