      Verdict

      Nothing is ruled out with DUNDORY a fairly tentative choice. A good winner at Doncaster earlier in the season, he came back to form to real effect last time when an excellent second to Mount Olympus at Goodwood and a repeat of that level would see him him bang in contention off a 2lb higher mark and with Hollie Doyle booked. Ayr Poet landed a third success in his last five starts when edging home at the recent Ayr Gold Cup meeting and latest form figures speak for themselves. He seems sure to be involved again, whilst Restorer was back to form with a battling Chester win last time and seems best suited to a quirkier type of track. Detective hasn't notched a success for over a year but continues to perform with credit and is not one to discount despite topweight.
