Verdict
Dial Square looks to have been found an easy opportunity to bring up a straight hat-trick of wins and gets the vote. Connections have elected to run under a penalty here following two wins at this track over a mile. The only possible downside is that he has never been tried at today's trip. However, with Kieren Fallon booked and the opposition looking very modest, he can win again. The others have looked very modest so far, although Lenwade showed some early promise. Once again, then, it's hard to get away from Dial Square.
