Race preview
Soft ground could be the key to DEPUTY regaining the thread in this handicap. Charlie Fellowes' gelding had created a favourable impression when wearing down his opponents to score with a bit up his sleeve over 7f at Newbury last month but the fact that he could only manage third over that C&D next time appeared to be more attributable to quicker ground rather than the 5lb rise he'd incurred. He remains one to be interested in off his present mark in these conditions and may just have too much for the likes of Marlay Park, Hajjam and Cityzen Serg who all finished second last time out.
