Verdict
Dubai Days has a tremendous strike-rate and ended the last campaign with a narrow defeat in a Class 2 handicap here. He generally needs his first run back but Famous Bridge ended last season completing a Wetherby double in March at this level. Whodini won easily here in April and again at Huntingdon last month but has shot up the weights as a consequence. HIDDEN COMMANDER is on a hat-trick after victories at Kelso and Hexham and though climbing the weights his previous success was from just a pound lower so he can go in again. Grand Voyage is back on the same mark as when scoring over the track and trip a year ago.
