Verdict

Dapper Man, Bahuta Acha and Only Spoofing have all struggled racing off higher marks after victories earlier in the year but Venturous had a tough task at Ascot last time and is better judged on an earlier second at Chester. Foxtrot Knight is upped in class after placing off today’s mark at Pontefract on his latest start but MY NAME IS RIO won off a higher mark last year and found only one too good at Ayr last time. Michael Dods’ charge looks set for a return to winning ways on that evidence and gets the vote.
