Verdict
DOMINADA didn't run at all badly when third at Leicester when last seen after being subjected to a 15lb hike for a smooth success at Ludlow. He gets on well with Megan Carberry, will be suited by this sharp track and goes especially well on good ground. Any rain would lessen his chance but as a 4-y-o he houses plenty of scope for progression over timber when conditions are right. Smart Ruler and Stoneham finished one-two here in mid-November over this trip and it is hard to split the pair again, but the former is just taken to confirm placings. Pulpitarian is not the most consistent but could go well at a price if on a going day, whilst a place on the shortlist is also reserved for Atomix, lightly-raced to date and still in with a shout when coming to grief here when last seen in December. He should have plenty more to offer.
