TORO DORADO won four times on the all-weather earlier in the year including a course and distance success. 3lb higher than his latest win, Ed Dunlop’s charge should go close back on this surface. Southwell novice winner Miss Morocco could only manage fourth at Doncaster on her handicap debut while Skerryvore has undergone wind surgery since disappointing at Lingfield. Bavardages placed over track and trip last week but Catch My Breath has yet to win over this far and Noble Peace is usually thereabouts without winning.
