Verdict

Dodina should figure as she's likely to improve on her debut third at Redcar but a chance is taken on the returning WATCHEROFTHESKIES. He was placed in all three starts on the Polytrack last year and John Hills' charge won't have to improve much on those efforts to get his head in front in this. This Is Nice is more exposed but is rated much higher than the modest Give Us A Belle while Secret Success has shown nothing in either start to date.
