Verdict
This almost certainly will end up a match been Supreme Dawn and Odagh Odyssey with the latter named getting the nod. Elheba most certainly deserves a mention as he won nicely in a similar contest over course and distance last month before running well below par in a handicap at Exeter. He redeemed himself around here last time out though when finishing second to hot pot Gaelic Flight, but at best he looks a place prospect today. Supreme Dawn eventually came good at Exeter on his latest run after some promising efforts. He was in with every chance on his penultimate start when coming to grief at the last at Doncaster and deserved his win at the Devon track. He looks an improving individual and will be sure to win more races but may have to settle for a place here. The selection Odagh Odyssey won nicely at Exeter last month. He is better known as a chaser who at his best was rated around 130. He comes into this race with one penalty and on official ratings is thrown in and is taken to win again.
