RACE SUMMARY

None of the quintet can be dismissed but DENSETSU did well to open to account at Wolverhampton last time and can make light of a 4lb rise in the weights with that form having been franked. Top-weight Emperor Zen also has better days ahead of him and is feared most ahead of the progressive maiden Strike Alliance. 1-2-3:

Wolverhampton
