    Verdict

    Dragon Sun ran in three strong maidens last term and had obviously wintered well as he was well supported for a Lingfield handicap last month and had few problems obliging. He's up 7lb and this looks tougher as PORT OF LEITH (NAP), a winner at Lingfield in November, caught the eye on his return to action there in February. Strawberry Jack has yet to win but has gone very close in his last two starts at Kempton and Newcastle while Defence Treaty showed plenty of potential in three sprints on soft ground last year. Quanah was quite highly tried in his first season and may not have taken to Tapeta on his reappearance.
