Verdict
Few make any appeal and Dynamic Talent should go close to landing a hat-trick despite a further 4lb rise for winning at Wolverhampton. But CRY HAVOC won a tougher handicap at Lingfield last time and a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor Rae Guests’ mare in this. G'daay won a lower grade race at Epsom in August and Puffing has more scope than most.
