Verdict

The three penalised winners could dominate this. DOUBLE W'S showed the benefit of a promising debut with an emphatic victory at Ayr where he was always travelling like a winner. He can follow-up though Palermo Don made a promising start over 1m4f at Newbury then came into his own over this trip at Haydock in March. He'll make further progress and will make a bold bid to defy a lay-off and though Professor Plum was a 20/1 chance when making a successful debut at Sedgefield there was no fluke about the victory and the fourth has come out and won subsequently. Ca Le Ferra looks best of the remainder.
