Verdict

Dishdasha looks the pick of a poor bunch here and can beat Vlasta Weiner and Baytown Flyer. The selection was very slowly away last time at Wolverhampton, so under the circumstances did well to finish a close up third behind Rasseem. That was only a seller but this is no stronger and he looks the one to beat. Vlasta Weiner makes a quick return to the track after running well behind Fulvio at Wolverhampton on Sunday. The drop in trip should suit Milton Bradley's charge and he looks the main threat. Baytown Flyer is a consistent sort and ran another solid race last month when fourth to Midmaar at Lingfield, he should be involved in the finish. Sharp Hat should prove best of the remainder, but Dishdasha deserves to land a race of this nature and gets our vote.
