Dubonai, Captain Bolsh and Penmara are the three to look at here with Dubonai given the nod. Still a maiden in thirteen starts, Penmara has not been seen on the Flat since August, when the Mtoto filly showed some ability, running well in handicap company. She has been kept race fit with a couple of efforts over jumps, although she has not taken to the national hunt game. Captain Bolsh has run better than his finishing position suggests in two similar races to today's on his last two starts. He has had twenty two attempts but is yet to win. Dubonai was nibbled at in the market before finishing a close second last time. That was only a seller, but he has won here, and that was a sign of a return to form. Dubonai gets a tentative vote.
