Catch Me won the Gimcrack Stakes in dominant fashion on debut and the turn-of-foot she showed in the final stages was nothing short of outstanding. She will get back from the wide barrier draw, but there should be plenty of early pace and that will give her the chance to finish over the top of her rivals.
Social Spin is a consistent performer that produced the biggest win of his career in impressive fashion and the field that he meets this afternoon is no tougher. He still has the scope to improve on that performance and John Allen will have plenty of options from barrier eight. It would be a surprise if he didn’t get the job done.
This is an open edition of the John Dillion Stakes and Arbeitsam is a horse that appeals at his current price. He wasn’t disgraced first-up in the Magic Millions Cup and he should take good improvement from that performance. Stephen Baster will take him straight to the front in the early stages and he will give his rivals something to catch.
It has been no surprise to see the strong early betting support for Endless Drama. There is no doubt that he is the class galloper in this field and his recent barrier trial was nothing short of outstanding. He maps to get a lovely trail with Glyn Schofield in the saddle and he will be able to finish over the top of his rivals late.
