Gone'n'dunnett, Bobski, and Canadian Danehill are the ones that catch the eye for this tricky six furlong dash, and Gone'n'dunnett is the selection. Bobski ran well on an all-weather outing last month and will come here sharper for that. He was a dual winner last season, including a win on similar ground, and commands respect. Canadian Danehill has shown a liking for Wolverhampton this winter, scoring twice, and also won twice on the turf last season, including a win at Headquarters. He is consistent and is hard to leave out of calculations. Gone'n'dunnett comes here after a win at Southwell three outings ago and a decent second last time. She won twice on the turf last season and both those wins came at this track. Gone'n'dunnett can do it again.
