Verdict

The betting suggested Ey Up It's Maggie would finally take advantage of a slide down the weights at Doncaster and she duly obliged. A winner off today’s higher mark in the past, she can go close again. Live In The Dream made all at Lingfield on his reappearance when just prevailing over the re-opposing Arecibo and there should be more to come from him but KING OF BAVARIA (NAP) may be the one to side with. The latter was beaten less than a length over a longer trip at Newcastle last time though went close off a higher mark over today’s minimum distance in Ireland last autumn and can open his account for Mick Appleby in this. Dakota Gold ended last year with a victory at Doncaster but Clarendon House would prefer faster ground.
