David Pipe held a number of options at the entry stage for the opener and he relies upon DINDIN. The ten-year-old will be a popular order given how he won over the course and distance a couple of weeks ago. Present Storm flopped last time out and much rests upon her performing better on a quicker surface. Manintheshadows likes to make the running though emptied quickly when reportedly bleeding on his most recent start. Ahead Of The Field has dropped significantly in the weights so any money for Emma Lavelle’s gelding should be noted.
