In depth
Verdict
Dundry has been knocking on the door and can come good against Disparity, Moaning Myrtle and Stocking Island. Dundry hinted at better things to come when third to Deep Purple at Kempton in July and has since encountered soft ground when second at both Nottingham and Goodwood. He seemed to wander about at the Sussex track and so the switch to the faster Polytrack should suit. He is bred to stay a mile and a half on the dam's side and so the scene looks set for him to come good. Disparity is going the right way, has form here and makes more appeal than stablemate Moaning Myrtle who makes her debut today. Stocking Island shaped well behind Daze at Chester so is worth a mention, but she has had plenty of opportunities, and all in all, Gary Moore appears to have found a suitable opportunity for Dundry to add to the trainer's good record at the Surrey track.
