DHHAMAAN looks really light in the handicap on his return to racing on grass so despite not yet having scored on the green stuff Ruth Carr's runner has the verdict ahead of the consistent Louisiade and Guildenstern. This looks the best opportunity the pick has had to break his turf maiden and it's not as though he doesn't act on it. He's been on a progressive run of form as his mark has fallen and now 6lbs lighter than when last in front he has to get the call. Louisiade is a bit of a near miss merchant who showed a liking for quick ground when placing over a mile here last week. He looks well weighted based on his all-weather form but his lack of wins is off putting. Guildenstern remains three pounds above his last winning mark but that still looks a little heavy. That said he is the best on turf of the three leading players so looks to have live chances. Angle Of Attack is inconsistent but has gone well from this rating recently but in a low grade contest Dhhamaan looks well-weighted.
