      Verdict

      DUNNSCOTIA is getting closer and gets another chance after finding only one too good over track and trip. Limerick Lord has also been threatening to score with a couple of recent placed efforts but Jacksonfire never looked like catching the winner when second at Chepstow last month. Kyllach Me landed a double on the all-weather earlier but has failed to figure in subsequent starts on Turf and maiden winner Etienne Gerard was never in contention back in a handicap at Haydock during the week.
