        Verdict

        Doug Watson saddles the top four in the weights but Dehbashi and Etijaah were both behind easy winner MUDALLEL over the course and distance in April. The winner, three times successful for Ed Dunlop, is up 5lb but looks one to follow from this kind of mark. Galvanize looks best of the Watson quartet as he made a successful reappearance last season and competed in much better company later. Tried And True also made a successful return to action a year ago so can’t be dismissed and though Welford was a long way behind the selection in April he had won on the track on his previous start so didn’t show his form.
