      Verdict

      Royal Alcor is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough off his current mark. A LITTLE BIT DUSTY is preferred as he was beaten only a head over track and trip last time and Conor Dore's charge can go one better in this company. Fly Solo has struggled since winning in soft ground early last year but Dazzling Valentine is back on a winning mark and may get involved. Doldrums disappointed on his handicap debut but may do better dropping down a grade today.
