A competitive little heat in which four of the five runners can be given a chance of sorts. All-Weather debutante Arry Dash is worthy of respect, especially as better will be seen of him over this trip, rather than the sharp seven-furlongs at Catterick, while Blue Venture showed more than enough to suggest he could be a horse to follow on this surface, when just touched off by Malahide Express back in October. Big Luciano is well named as he is quite a well grown colt and while he looks the one to beat, he will have his work cut out trying to give the weight to Magenta Rising. Using Blue Trojan as a yardstick, Paul Darcy's filly has a couple of pounds in hand over Big Luciano and she is taken to land a tricky race.
