      Verdict

      Chookie Dunedin gained the ninth victory of his career at Wetherby on Sunday and though carrying a 5lb penalty he's only 1lb higher than his victory at Wolverhampton in February. Love Destiny completed a Kempton double in January and gradually dropped back to a winnable mark when scoring at Chelmsford last week for which he's also penalised. YOSHIMI won here as a juvenile and competed at a much higher level in just five starts last summer. He's been given a long break and returns on a lower mark so a chance is taken on him regaining his form. Donnelly's Rainbow has an excellent record around here and will strip fitter after a run at Catterick earlier this month.
