A competitive affair. It was a very promising comeback effort from DEGALE at Haydock last month and this unexposed sort is given a chance to build on that promise but dangers abound, headed by Rajapour, a promising second in a big field at York last time. My Margie is 2-2 at Southwell and is another who ought to go well, while Borgi has yet to fire this year but his last 2 efforts haven't been too bad and he's starting to look well treated on his peak AW form.
