Verdict

Dica is dropped noticeably in trip, but that might not prove too problematic in a moderate contest given his front running style of racing. We know that this in-form veteran can go well at this unique track and he should run his race despite a climbing mark. However, the most obvious winner appears to be the Tom Gretton trained YOURHOLIDAYISOVER. Any further rainfall (some forecast) will only serve to improve his chances, which already look most appealing on paper, so this January Plumpton scorer is a most confident selection with Richard Johnson in the plate.
