Verdict

Dawson City finished almost 10 lengths ahead of THE TWO AMIGOS at Exeter last month but Polly Gundry’s veteran is less effective at other tracks nowadays and Nicky Martin’s front-runner is 4lb better off now. He could be the answer to a tricky puzzle, though recent course winner Revels Hill will go close if handling the step up in trip and Some Detail is another recent course winner, though will also have stamina to prove. Minellacelebration will strip fitter for a run at Newbury and Wandrin Star is still useful when in the mood but Achille remains out of sorts and is now blinkered.
