        Verdict

        Few make any appeal on recent form but RIVER DAWN landed a double on the Polytrack before beaten less than a length at Pontefract and should make another bold bid racing off the same mark. Jack D'Or was placed at Goodwood on his comeback and can figure again but Kings Highway folded tamely here on his reappearance having won over track and trip last summer. Image Of The Moon landed a course and distance double last term and Dargel ended last season with a string of placed efforts.
