Verdict

Two Turtle Doves returns to the minimum trip for the first time since scoring at Hamilton last month. He's 6lb higher but should confirm running with Lees Anthem. Steelcut went close off today's mark on the all-weather last time and the course and distance winner has a shout along with Ballarina, a winner at Wolverhampton in November. Rio's Girl finished a bit closer last time and could go well but BONDI BEACH BOY is far from exposed and gets the vote to follow-up his recent win at Catterick off a 4lb higher mark.
