Dusty City can make experience tell over the likes of Shaydreambeliever, Dancing Edge and Becktara to name but three. The market should be closely watched here with the Easterby family being well represented, but a tentative vote goes the way of Dusty City who had a pipe-opener at Musselburgh last weekend. Bill Turner's charge was just denied a place after encountering trouble in running, and should have learnt from that. The form will probably not amount to much, but unless there is anything special amongst the opposition, he should pay to support. Kevin Ryan won this last year and runs Becktara whom he sees as one to follow when sent over further in time. Richard Fahey had a very profitable 2004 campaign and it would be no surprise if Shaydreambeliever proved useful. The son of Daggers Drawn is another though who will benefit from further, while Dancing Edge is related to quite a few winners including Zando. All in all, this is very much a guessing game, and the smallest of wagers only is recommended on Dusty City.
