Dutch Pursuit is another sound chance on the card for the Dods team after landing his last two starts but the Canford Cliffs gelding has yet to be seen on Turf and is therefore best watched. Trip and conditions should be fine for RED BRAVO on the evidence of his debut success at Newmarket last term and he's a speculative choice having disappointed subsequently. Northernpowerhouse is of interest off this mark despite being raised in grade as he looks set to strike sooner rather than later and both Indomitable and Finoah could get involved in what ranks as a difficult handicap to solve. Wise Counsel has topweight on this comeback run but shouldn't be ignored.
