      Verdict

      DUBRAVA has obvious claims having looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Kempton last time. Roger Varian’s filly can open her account with normal luck in-running and is preferred to Saikung. The latter wasn’t far away when only sixth at Kempton on her recent debut while Flarepath will have likely benefited for a modest introduction at Leicester in September and is another to consider with the remaining pair harder to fancy.
