Withdrawn
The form of those with racecourse experience looks pretty moderate, so a chance is taken with the newcomer Dart who can get the better of the more experienced Yeoman Spirit and River Deuce. The selection hails from a yard that are more than capable of readying a newcomer to win first time out and this well-bred filly does have a positive jockey booking with Jamie Spencer and a good draw. Looking at the others, Yeoman Spirit looked in need of the run on his return from a break at Leicester last time and if he can build on that effort then he should be capable of making the frame. River Deuce was a well beaten third at Lingfield last time but that was his first try over this trip and he could be worth another chance. Dream Master ran well last time and if he sees out this longer trip then he could go well. However, this is a race that will not take much winning and Dart could be capable of scoring on his debut.
