In depth

Verdict

Koeman won over a longer trip at Chelmsford having earlier been beaten by Red Flyer over track and trip. Obsidian Knight finished behind the above pair but has more scope than both while White Willow finished a close-up third in a slowly-run contest at Wolverhampton and has something to find with AFFWONN on collateral form. Alex Dunn’s charge finished ahead of Napper Tandy when third in a tougher handicap at Southwell last time and is also preferred to Pallas Dancer. No Trouble makes more appeal than Razdan of the Irish raiders.
