        Verdict

        Richard Hughes has made a splendid start to his training career and DYNAMO can record a third victory in four starts for the flourishing operation. The son of Galileo was a late developer and his latest fluent success, over course and distance, was achieved in a style suggesting he's still on the upgrade. Urban Space's recent win confirmed that he's no back number at the age of ten and he should prove competitive off a 3lb higher mark. Helmsman has proved a steady sort in his 15-race career but still seeks that elusive first victory whilst George Wood's 7lb claim will assist the claims of dual purpose performer Grams And Ounces. However, the main threat may come from Starcrossed at the head of the weights as he's been running pretty well in better races this year yet has dropped 5lb in the ratings since early January.
