    Verdict

    Dutch Decoy has been steadily improving this season and was runner-up to stablemate Austrian Theory at Epsom at the start of the month. Eilean Dubh is back on a winning mark and Helm Rock has placed the last twice. Fitness is unlikely to be an issue for the lightly-raced New Dimension while a line can be put through Autumn Festival’s run at Goodwood as he was drawn wide and used up a lot of energy getting to the front. He is better drawn here but may be best over 7f. BODORGAN (NAP) caught the eye in a hot contest at Haydock when making his handicap debut and can take advantage of his weight-for-age allowance today with fellow three-year-old Zu Run best of the rest.
