In depth

Verdict

A tricky race but Lively Dessert will certainly have his supporters. He was second to Jowoody on his latest start, proving once again that staying is his forte. Master Wood has won from higher marks than today's rating, but he is probably at his best when the going is not too firm. Aegean tends to run consistently but his last win came off a mark of 95 (now 103). Joyce Bel is an Irish import,. He won twice in his native country but made no show on his British debut for Heather Dalton. Ballyline has won four times and is well-handicapped on the best of those while Grate Deel is a course and distance winner but looks fairly weighted.
