Verdict

DOWNDRAFT looks like a colt going the right way and the handicapper left him on the same mark for an easy Dundalk success last time out. He's the stable's first-string and is the tentative selection here. The booking of Frankie Dettori looks eye-catching on board Lethal Power and he was an excellent third in a competitive handicap here last time out. Sea Of Rome is consistent and may be able to finish in the money for Damien English.
  1. Downdraft

  3. See Of Rome
