Verdict
DASHING STAR made a big improvement on his debut at Newmarket when finishing third in soft ground back at the same track a fortnight ago. Any further progress should see him off the mark in this. Admiralofthesea and Tajheez have to some catching up to do if they're to figure but the well-bred Dame Nellie Melba will have come on for her recent debut at Newmarket. Newcomer Arabian Skies is related to five winners and is worth a second glance in the betting along with fellow debutant Shwaiman.
