Verdict

A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap and Dimitri, Donegal Dancer and Star Sensation are all sure to have there supporters. However we will side with Royal Bathwick. The gelding from the Rod Milman is well in on his best form will like the ground and he could be good value in this open affair. Dmitri will find this easier than the races he has been running in of late and with Healy Turner taking off a handy seven pounds he will not be far away with conditions in his favour. Donegal Dancer won well over seven furlongs on his debut this season. However he appeared not to stay nine furlongs last time and this trip may be his optimum so he could go well. Star Sensation could also go well he was a fair second behind Emran last time and a reproduction of that effort would[could give him definite place claims. Of the remainder Morban and Mullion are from yards in form and are worth a cautionary look in the market.
