Verdict
A competitive field goes to post for this nursery with many in form rivals in opposition including Cape Trafalgar Times Review and Dispol Kaite and we will take a chance on Dispol Katie. The filly from theDavid Baron yard has improved with each run and was a good winner when defeating Truly Wonderful. She looks well weighted on that form and will not be far away with conditions in her favour. Cape Trafalgar rates the main danger he is game and consistent and will go on the ground but he has given the impression he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Times Review was second in a good handicap behind First Order last time and he will not be far away with the booking of Jimmy Quinn catching the eye. Shank On Fourteen is another worthy of respect but he may struggle to give weight and a beating to some better handicapped rivals so we are happy to side with Dispol Katie.
