Verdict

In a wide open handicap, Dudley Docker is a tentative choice to beat High Arctic and Samuel Charles. The selection has had a couple of runs following a summer break, and the most recent was a very good effort when finishing a close up fourth behind Mina A Salem at Lingfield. There could be more to come and he looks the best option here. High Arctic finished third in a strong looking maiden at Haydock last time out. That was back in June, but if fit he should go close on his handicap debut. Samuel Charles finished behind Dudley Docker last time but is better off at the weights today, and should get a lot closer. Llamadas may prove best of the remainder, but is expected to continue improving and gets our vote.
