Verdict

Strong cases can be made for and against all these. Preference is for DAWNIERIVER who looks well treated on the form which saw her complete a hat-trick of wins in 2016. She has not been disgraced in two starts since and with the stable going well she is selected to take this at the expense of C&D specialist Fly Home Harry. Alan Swinbank's charge had been given a break following a disappointing run last time. He goes well fresh and the manner of his two victories here could suggest he had more in hand than the official margins suggest. Azert De Coeur represents a yard going well that have an impressive strike rate here. His pedigree suggests he could struggle with the trip but he would have claims in this grade if proving otherwise.
