      Verdict

      The veterans CAPTAIN DUNNE (NAP) and Inxile have won 24 races between them with the latter just holding the edge on 13 victories. He was in very good form at this time a year ago but his latest victory came in a claimer. The former has always been a very speedy performer and is best on easy tracks so this should suit him down to the ground. Rachel Richardson gets on well with him and can steer him to victory number 12. All four of Tumblewind's career victories have been over this trip yet he's raced exclusively over 6f over the past year so a return to the minimum may reap its rewards. Irish Girls Spirit won two class 6 handicaps in September and hasn't been able to cope from her new mark.
