            Verdict

            A very tricky way to end the card and Dodona is a tentative choice over Factual Lad and New Prospective - although a move for Archirondel could be interesting. However, Dodona, who has gone well here in the past, has returned to form of late and she is as game as they come at this level. Garry Carter is building up a good working relationship with the five-year-old and the partnership may prove too game for the rest today.
