Verdict

Dollar Mick disappointed when last seen and it looks as though Lutin Du Moulin is on a downward spiral nowadays. Isla Pearl Fisher has ability but the fences often get in the way and BEAU DANDY appears to be a far more reliable proposition. He's clearly going the right way over fences and appeared to have a little more in the locker when scoring by five lengths at Ayr last month. Badger Foot, Playing The Field and Definite Appeal have place claims but shouldn't beat the selection on today's terms while Or De Grugy has hardly raised a gallop this winter.
