Verdict

A low-grade sprint, and a race where the vast majority are confidently dismissed. Paul Midgley saddles the Wolverhampton winner The Defiant who is yet to deliver on turf, but must be massively respected in a contest as weak as today's. The Keith Dalgleish-trained pair Frank's Law and Brahma Kamal can feasibly come good in handicaps, but unless the market speaks with confidence are only horses to monitor at present. Therefore, the default position is to stick with the former Irish-racer DE LATOUR who was on the premises at Dundalk in March.
