Verdict
Dawn Lightning has been aimed high since winning on the Polytrack and may do better here, while Van Go Go's earlier victories came in plating company. Dark Ages disappointed on her handicap debut and Sea Odyssey was a losing favourite at Leicester last time. Roger Sez got off the mark at Redcar last month and should make a bold bid, but preference goes to AMADEUS DENTON, who had a couple of previous winners in front when third at Thirsk last time and had won nicely at Doncaster before that.
