Pennsylvania Dutch has obviously benefited from wind surgery as he returned with a victory over the course and distance then defied a 5lb rise over the minimum at Musselburgh. He won from a higher mark than this in 2017 so will again take some beating. Wrenthorpe ended the last campaign with a victory over 5f at Nottingham and ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Ripon. He'll be better for that run and will make a bold bid though DALTON (NAP) looks the one to be on. Julie Camacho's charge has won first time out for the past two seasons and wasn't beaten far in better handicaps at Ayr and Doncaster later in the last campaign. Orion's Bow has won around here and was only beaten a length on his return to action in a better race than this a year ago.
