Jack Dawson has been in excellent heart of late and is on to the hat-trick after smooth wins at Hamilton and Musselburgh (where he broke the track record). However, John Berry's stable star has gone up 6lb in the weights since and has shown his best form over further. Bollin Nellie was a comfortable winner over this trip at Thirsk last time and is entitled to go close while Gralmano scored easily over course and distance last month and was then far from disgraced over 10f when fourth in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar. Court Of Appeal has been knocking on the door of late and looks best of the remainder off a fair mark.
