Verdict

Dramatic is taken to win again under his penalty. His hat-trick win may come at the main expense of Hucking Hope and Thunderbolt Jackson. Sir Mark Prescott's horses are running well and with stable jockey Seb Sanders full of confidence and flying high at the top of the Jockey's Championship, Dramatic looks an obvious winner. He looked as if he was making hard work of winning last time out at halfway but he drew away to win comfortably in the end and if translating that all-weather form to the turf today, he looks sure to run another big race. Hucking Hope is yet to win on turf but this step up in trip should be fine and the filly cannot be ruled out with another winter on her back. Retaliate has won over course and distance so warrants respect, whilst Thunderbolt Jaxon will need to forget a shocking run last time out. That was too bad to be true and he must be forgiven that effort now back on turf. At a price Ensign's Trick has minor place claims, however Dramatic is a horse on a role and can gain the hat-trick today.
