      In depth

      Verdict

      Dragons Will Rise has been here three times and won twice. He also scored at Pontefract twice last summer and should get into contention. JOMONT (NAP) has found his form having completed a track and trip double last month with a hard-fought victory for which he's only been raised 1lb. Starfighter would have a chance on his Class 4 victory at Wolverhampton in March and though Termonator hasn't run since April he returned from a long break to win over a mile here in December 2020.
