In depth

Verdict

James Eustace has his horses in excellent form at present and he can land this nursery with his consistent colt Lieutenant Dunbar. Still a maiden the first-time blinkers worked in his favour last time out where he ran well in defeat. This extra furlong should suit and he is the TEAMtalk selection. Logistical's trainer is also in fine fettle at the moment and if the colt can reproduce the form he showed at Goodwood four weeks ago he should give the selection most to do especially if the ground continues to dry out. Melody Master has been slowly improving in his last couple of runs and comes here after a break. If he shows more improvement he could go close. Gilly's General has shown her liking for this track already and if she can reproduce her Brighton run of 51 days ago she has a good each-way chance.
