In depth

Verdict

SIREN'S COVE won with plenty to spare at Lingfield last week and a 6lb penalty is negated by Gary Mahon's allowance. She can go in again given El Campeon is upped a grade off a higher mark after also winning at Lingfield last time. Dark Avenger looks a bigger threat on his recent placed efforts on the Turf but Sands Chorus has proved best over shorter trips so far. Sweet Dancer steps up in distance for his handicap debut and there is plenty of stamina on his dam's side.
