Verdict
Dundunah made a very promising start over this trip at York in June and possibly saw too much daylight when attempting an extra furlong on the Knavesmire a month later. This stiff 5f could be ideal but she does have a bit to prove now. Father Mckenzie is thoroughly exposed but has place claims again and makes more appeal than Sheepscar Lad. BRIAN THE SNAIL is a well-named son of Zebedee and cost £50,000. He's a half-brother to a 5f winner and can make a winning debut.
