Verdict
DUNLY failed in a bid for a hat-trick when folding tamely at Newcastle. But that came only eight days after winning easily at the same track and he gets another chance in this given today’s opposition fail to inspire much confidence. Skipping On was beaten a long way when second of only two finishers at Plumpton and Article Fifty is preferred having finished closer over track and trip on only his third outing over fences. Ringaringarosie is best at Sedgefield but Warendorf may do better back on testing ground today.
