Verdict
The Which Doctor registered one of his rare wins over a mile here last week but is too inconsistent to have any faith in, despite dropping down a grade today. Gallantry has tumbled down the weights this year, but today's longer trip raises questions marks about him and the same comment applies to Genes Of A Dancer, who scored over a mile here in September. However, today's distance is no problem for C&D winner OCEAN OF PEACE and Kirsten Smith's claim allows him to race off a 5lb lower mark than when last successful. He gets the vote in the hope a four month lay-off has freshened him up.
