    Verdict

    There are question marks hanging over most of these but John Dunlop has a fine course record and his topweight Always has to be respected after some solid performances last term. Desert Air also showed ability in three outings last year and should be suited by the trip, but Kristensen could be worth chancing after running on well over a mile last time and shaping as though today's trip would suit him down to the ground. Montessori Mio and Lucky Man have been busy on the all-weather and will lack nothing for fitness, whilst the booking of Philip Robinson for Fortunate Dave looks interesting.
