Verdict
The betting suggested DAHAWI was expected to make a winning start at Chelmsford last month and he duly obliged. Further progress is expected and Hugo Palmer’s charge can defy a penalty in this company. Orange Blossom’s form deteriorated last year having started life in Pattern company and the less-exposed Fury And Fire is preferred on a recent debut fourth at Lingfield when finishing in front of Turn To Rock. The others with experience have yet to threaten while the newcomer Brigadier is a half-brother to a couple of winners over further.
