Verdict

The market is best watched with regards to the returning Doktor Glaz and Unex Canaletto, though both are feasibly treated. The former is trained by Rose Dobbin, who may have a better chance with lightly-raced top weight Professor Plum. Grand Enterprise won at Doncaster last month but then failed to cope with a higher mark at Wetherby. Smoking Dixie is Ben Pauling’s first ever runner here and makes his handicap debut but winning chaser MIDNIGHT REQUEST is back on a more suitable surface after a couple of runs in the mud so gets a tentative vote.
