      Verdict

      Dundonald is in good form and gets the confident vote in the finale with Pagan Storm and Backlash the pair most likely to chase him home. The selection won well last time out when beating Pagan Storm over 7f here and with the step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience him he looks worth sticking with to go in again. Pagan Storm was a good second behind our selection last time and he is again likely to make the frame here. But he is difficult to win with and on that basis we are happy to take him on. Backlash has shown flashes of form but this filly still has plenty to prove and the best that she can hope for here is a place. Kanz Wood is out of form although he would have a big shout if he could get anywhere near his best, but we will stick with Dundonald who looks the one to beat.
