Gone 'N' Dunnett is taken to return to winning ways here at the main expense of Two Acres and Beechside. Turned out quickly after a run just three days ago (with Dodaa well held behind), the selection should run a good race. He knows how to win despite not having visited the enclosure of late and from the plum draw he could go well at a price. Prime recreation returns fro ma break and has claims on the pick of his runs, whilst Luloah and Maktavish are both fellow course and distance winners. Two Acres is one of the more consistent runners in the lineup and his recent runs have been solid if not spectacular, whilst Celeb Style is unexposed and may have claims on his handicap debut. An open race, with Gone 'N' Dunnett the token selection.
