Verdict

Four of the last five favourites have been successful and three-year-olds have a very good record. David Elsworth runs two and JUSTICE DAY should make a bold bid to go one better than last year when he found Mecca's Angel too strong. A repeat might be good enough though his lightly-raced stablemate Justice Good could make a race of it if back to his best juvenile form. Dutch Masterpiece completed a hat-trick in 2013 but was behind the selection at Leicester last time while Wind Fire has been competing at a high level since landing a Listed contest last summer. The veteran Kingsgate Native won a Listed contest at Haydock in May and that looks his level nowadays while Steps dropped to handicap company to score at Doncaster.
