DALKINGSTOWN: Following its run on 18/7/2022 it was reported that the horse felt the effects of a long season.

PLAY SMARTER

CALL OF THE LOON is a veteran but he made a good start for the Christian Williams yard last summer and has gone well fresh before so he earns the vote. Henschke has a bit of a patchy record but will be a big danger if reproducing the level of his latest Warwick second.
