Verdict
Another competitive race this but DUBAI DYNAMO has been running well this winter and looks to be off a competitive mark back on the turf so has the verdict in preference to the returning pair of Deadly Encounter and Regeneration. Likely to be strip fit for his recent performances on the all-weather the pick ran a credible race under a penalty when placing last time out. That was following a decent score over the re-opposing Ishiadancer and now five pounds better off given an assignment he's won at before he has to get the call. Deadly Encounter hasn't had a great deal of racing and based on his close up forth in a better race at Goodwood off this mark last time has every chance of going well after sitting out the winter. Regeneration seems better on the all-weather surfaces than on turf but did go close at Yarmouth last summer. That said despite his unexposed nature he looks a little high in the weights now returning to grass. Steel Stockholder has a likeable profile and was a comfortable enough winner at Wolverhampton last time. His only previous course and distance run ended in success so he has a chance off this revised mark. It's the kind of race where you could mention half the field and still not get the winner but Dubai Dynamo is well treated and should run a big race.
