In depth
Verdict
Dotty's Daughter won well last time and is the obvious choice here with Bar Humbug and Sunken Rags the main dangers. The selection scored in decisive fashion at Brighton last time when beating Indian Song and with proven form on this surface she should be up to scoring again. Bar Humbug should give her the most to think about as this colt from the Richard Fahey stable showed some ability on his debut at Beverely when finishing in mid-division behind Deserted Dane. He is sure to come on for the run and is worth noting in the market. Sunken Rags has run in Listed company so she clearly has ability although she will need to improve on what she has so far shown on the racecourse to get competitive. Ask Don't Tell is a course and distance winner and is the other to consider, but for the winner we will return to the in-form Dotty's Daughter.
