      Verdict

      DRAGON BONES is penalised for her Listed company victory on her penultimate start but that form is far superior to anything achieved by her opponents. The main concern about the Williams inmate is that she swerved violently to unseat her rider last time at Southwell after not travelling especially smoothly. A repeat of the Doncaster win would prove more than good enough but it does seem she may have her quirks. Should she fail to fire then Little Actress, one of three entries for the Crawford team, is by far the likeliest to benefit as she's a reliable mare. Her stable companion Largy Princess looks next best.
