Verdict
COURT DISMISSED was caught on the run-in at Bangor when dead-heating for second. Donald McCain’s charge may well hang on for victory this time given Shaiyzar was still beaten nine lengths when runner-up at Perth. Rogue Dancer may prove a bigger threat after placing at Huntingdon in April while Larkhall was having his first run since January when third at Southwell recently and could also figure.
