Verdict

EAST INDIA DOCK signalled he's ready to go in again with a recent C&D third when not enjoying the smoothest of passages and can edge out the likeable course winner Master Milliner. Beamish is also well in the mix on the back of his resurgent Ascot second, while 2022 victor Aggagio also can't be ruled out in an intriguing staying handicap.
