      Verdict

      Miss Grace is progressing along the right lines and is just preferred to Dunaskin, Dubai Tower and Dubai Dreams in a tight betting heat. The Barry Hills-trained Miss Grace had shown useful form in maidens on the all-weather this winter and confirmed the merit of the form when getting her head in front at Lingfield last time and, with her stable in such fine form, should prove hard to beat off a fair mark on her handicap debut. Dunaskin was a little below his best when a beaten odds-on shot at Thirsk last time and faces no easy task under top weight but Dubai Towers shouldn't be underestimated with his yard firing in a treble yesterday. Dubai Dreams ran promisingly at Beverley last time and will appreciate the return to this longer trip so can't be dismissed in a useful event.
