Race preview
Red Dirt Road made every yard of the running in heavy ground to run out an eight-length victor in a warm handicap at Sandown last month and is likely to have his supporters. However, this requires another career-best effort off a 9lb higher mark and, with that in mind, GUARD DUTY gets the nod. Emma Lavelle's eight-year-old may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests at Newbury earlier in the month and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Red Risk and Patriotik complete the shortlist.
