      Verdict

      Though in the veteran stage now, DAKOTA GOLD is still a more-than-useful sprinter at this level and 6f is his trip nowadays. Recent rain is also in his favour and he can extend a frustrating sequence for Mums Tipple. Mr Wagyu was behind the selection last time at York but has won at Epsom and the Curragh this year and is no back number. Asjad beat Mums Tipple here last month and there should be nothing between them on today’s terms but Just Frank and Magical Spirit haven’t really fired this season.
