Verdict
DUTCH HERITAGE had to overcome a slow start at Ayr last time but got his head in front in the closing stages and looks likely to last home over this extra furlong. Richard Fahey's charge gets the vote ahead of Lolita Lebron, already a winner over 7f at Beverley back in May and a scorer at Chester last month. I'll Be Good hasn't really threatened despite slipping down the weights while it was a lower grade race that Trust Fund Babe went close in last time. Dark Falcon has shown his best on the all-weather so far.
