      Verdict

      Dodaa looks to have every chance in the opener and is preferred to Lady Hopeful and Savile's Delight. Noel Wilson has scored with three of his last five runners and it's worth taking the chance that his gelding will act on this track. Dodaa confirmed his wellbeing when making all and running on well to score at Wolverhampton last time. That should have done his confidence some good and he may be able to follow up. Savile's Delight won well at Southwell and is respected but faces no easy task conceding weight all round. Lady Hopeful ran her best race to date at this venue when third over course and distance last time but there's little to choose between her, Blushing Russian and Elvina on that running. The unexposed Elizabeth Spirit is also well worth considering but has a bit to prove and the claims of Dodaa are preferred.
