    Verdict

    DUNDORY scored over today’s trip two runs ago and finished runner-up at Epsom last time. He drops down in class for this and will handle any cut in the ground. Hilts will appreciate the rain-softened ground and can figure but Shine On Brendan and Cabinet Maker have something to prove over this far. Veteran and course regular Royal Regent last won here in May and will likely be in the mix again.
