Verdict

DYNAMITE KENTUCKY was clear of the rest when only beaten a length by the promising Arthur’s Seat at Kelso. He has since been transferred to Richard Newland’s in-form yard and can go one better today. Salvino ran well at Kelso earlier this month and the winning pointer shouldn’t be long in shedding his maiden tag under Rules. Thunder In Milan was second at Ayr in October but hasn’t raced since. Ritson has shown some ability but may lack the scope of others.
