Verdict
This race is tricky but we will give the tentative vote to Duntulm with both Virtual and Flawed Genius worth noting. The selection comes from the in form yard of Henry Candy who have started well to this flat campaign. He is only lightly raced and looked progressive when winning at Newmarket in a first time handicap. He is nine pounds worse off today but he looks to be going the right way and is taken to win again. Virtual runs in his first handicap after winning a maiden at Newmarket last time out. He has run well on all three starts and is given what we feel a fair handicap mark to start with so any market moves should be noted. Flawed Genius ran well on his return to the race course earlier in the month when finishing second to the selection. He is two pounds better off as a result but we feel not enough for the form to be reversed so for the winner we return to Duntulm.
