Verdict

There doesn't look to be much between any of these on past form. Dolphin Village rarely runs a bad race while Renfrew Street only gave best close home in a decent contest at Hamilton last week. The slight drop in distance might suit Newbury third Sunblazer while Jacob Cats possibly found 2m too far at Kempton. WALPOLE (NAP) only had to be pushed out to make a winning reappearance at Thirsk. He's only suffered one defeat so far and there looks to be plenty more in the locker. William Hunter has been raised 5lb since winning at Brighton but is another who is probably still on an upward curve.
