Verdict

Dunaskin showed the benefit of his reappearance when dictating a slow pace to register an easy four-length victory at Ripon last week and is fancied to follow up under Frankie Dettori. The son of Bahhare has nothing to fear from Bond May Day and Good Loser who were second and fourth respectively and look comfortably held on the revised weight terms. Pavement Gates showed some respectable form last year and has place claims if fit while Alder Park and Mellino should make an impact at this level although both would be receiving more weight from the selection in a handicap.
