Verdict

Major Gatsby has won three times at Wolverhampton this year but was beaten on the Turf at Lingfield last time. DAZZERLING is preferred as he was having his first outing since February when runner-up over track and trip a fortnight ago and has plenty of scope for further progress. Atlantic Heart is also unexposed while Night Traveller debuts for a new yard.
