Verdict

Dundory finished in front of Ravens Ark when runner-up at Epsom while Bohemian Breeze won a lower grade contest over track and trip. Scintillante and Typical Woman are others upped a grade having both finished runner-up here last time while BOLDLY finished third when favourite over 1m2f at Newcastle on his handicap debut. This extra distance will suit the latter and he has plenty of scope for further improvement. Awesome Dancer won at Ascot in the summer of last year and has his first start since.
