DUNASKIN is far superior to this lot and can make the most of a good opportunity to get the better of Dr Valentine and Prioryjo. The selection is officially rated well clear of his opponents on a mark of 123 and has proved to be a really good servant to Brian Ellison over the years. He acts with cut and stays well, so this testing circuit won't be a problem, while he should appreciate this drop into a seller and he can score. Dr Valentine has 12lbs to find with our pick on adjusted ratings, but he is only a four-year-old and improvement is not beyond him. Cut in the ground suits and he won't lack for preparation, so he could give the selection something to do. Prioryjo won a good ground Sedgefield seller last month before failing to follow up here last weekend. Soft ground also suits, but he hasn't shown his best when tried here before and we will take him on. Josephine Malines, on the other hand, has shown decent form here before and acts well enough with some give, so she should be involved, but preference is for Dunaskin.
