In depth
Verdict
Dorback has a shout back over this course and distance but Island Legend has reverted to type having popped-up at 25/1 last month. The latter finished behind stablemate and runner-up Triple Dream last time while Six Wives still looks high enough in the weights and finished well behind ALASKAN BULLET last week. Brian Ellison's charge was beaten a length in better company at Lingfield on that occasion and is taken to go one better in this less competitive affair. Rylee Mooch is good enough to figure but hasn't raced since November.
