Verdict

Plenty with claims in this but DAWOODI looks to have found his level after tumbling down the weights and Linda Perratt’s charge won at Musselburgh last time with Lady Molly and See Vermont behind. The latter has subsequently finished behind third-placed Ambitious Icarus over track and trip when the top weight also beat Thornaby Princess, Bond Bombshell and Canford Bay. Imperial Legend may prove best of the rest.
