Verdict

Alex Dunn does well with her small team and she's already saddled ARRAYAN to land a Taunton claimer this year. Second to Bellflower Boy in another at Southwell last time when Not Til Monday was a well-beaten fifth, the eight-year-old is the one to beat as he appears to have the measure of Alwaystheoptimist on collateral form. Neither Ajman nor Maccabees has managed to complete their last two starts while the remainder have plenty to find at the weights.
