Verdict
DIRCHILL hasn’t been disgraced in any of his three runs this year. His latest third at Doncaster suggests he’s on a fair mark now and he’ll handle the fast ground better than most. Lexi's Hero’s absence is a worry but he’s throw in on past form if ready and Meshardal keeps plugging away and will probably be back in the winner’s enclosure before much longer. Invincible Ridge is another to consider while Presidential, just denied a hat-trick at Beverley, is theoretically 3lb well in but may not be suited by the drop in distance. Danecase didn’t run badly back on Turf at Newmarket and looks the pick of the remainder.
