Dove Mountain attempts this longer trip for the first time and is not certain to last home. ULTIMATE WARRIOR ran poorly in a Class 4 handicap recently but comes out best at the weights in this lesser grade and has gone close over 1m2f before. Jim Boyle's charge gets the vote as he has plenty in hand on today's terms with Big Kenny while Casper Lee doesn't look good enough. Abdication showed nothing on his racecourse debut and is immediately dropped in class.
