Verdict

Join Up has won four times in a 50-run career, three of them on this track including earlier this month for which he is raised 2lb to his highest mark since his juvenile days. He had Provost behind in that latter race but Mick Easterby's charge was returning after a break and Graham Gibbons has won on him previously. Gordy Bee could prove a threat under Jamie Spencer who was on board when the five-year-old stayed on at one pace over 7f here last time. All three of Duneen Dream's victories have come over today's C&D but a 7lb rise for his latest success tempers enthusiasm and the lightly-raced DIRECTOR GENERAL, who was unlucky in-running when strongly fancied here last month, is taken to recoup losses. The consistent Kielty's Folly is another to consider in an open contest.
