Verdict

The step up to this trip brought about a revival in the fortunes of FIRST CHARGE, who belied odds of 40/1 in decisive fashion at Wolverhampton recently. That was no fluke and it's unlikely that a 4 lb rise will be enough to stop him if in the same form here. With doubts regarding the suitability of this surface for Dreambird, One Night In Milan and Nataleena rate the main dangers.
