    Verdict

    Sue Lamyman's DART was good value for her win over course and distance last month when beating Merrion Tiger by two and a half lengths and she can defy the 6lb penalty for that success and gets the vote over Victory Quest and Ibrox. The last mentioned has shown improved form in recent starts but is far from certain to stay this far despite being out of a Slip Anchor mare and he may have to settle for minor honours. Peter Hiatt's My Friend Fritz has disappointed in his last couple of starts but has got a good record here so cannot be discounted although he could probably do with some help from the handicapper. Baltimore Patriot has shown some promise in limited starts for Roger Curtis since coming from Ireland and is unproven on the Fibresand so has to be considered off what seems a fair mark. Mirpour is readily discounted on recent form over fences and previous form on the level with a bigger threat likely to come from Victory Quest. Sue Lamyman's gelding is much better than he was able to show when tailed off here last time but stable companion Dart has an obvious chance and can win again.
