        Verdict

        DICHOH is selected with Royal Envoy and Dabbers Ridge the most pertinent dangers. Despite his obvious quirks, Dichoh is a fairly consistent type at this grade and having won in a non-plating contest at Salisbury, we remain hopeful that he can deliver another solid run. Royal Envoy has a very useful 7lb claimer. The pair had no chance against Aeroplane at Wolverhampton and this looks a more realistic assignment. Dabbers Ridge has the back class to take an event of this nature. Whether he is able to put together a performance of that magnitude these days is another matter entirely. Napoletano can front run and there is a likelihood he will try to repeat the forcing tactics he employed last time out at Brighton. Art Market has placed in a couple of handicaps of late and is tried in cheekpieces. Kingsgate Castle has a bit to do on the figures though he has performed adequately in a visor and Cathy Gannon is riding well. Dichoh has least negatives in a field where positives are fairly thin on the ground.
