        Verdict

        John Dunlop's Dandoun is likely to be all the rage to take this nine furlong Group 3 race after his fluent reappearance success at Doncaster. Stablemate Right Wing took the same race at Town Moor last year before going on to win this contest and Pat Eddery's mount has every chance of following in his hoofprints. Border Arrow also won first time out, beating Chianti a neck in Kempton's Magnolia Stakes but the seven-year-old may not have the necessary pace to challenge the favourite. Askham did little wrong last season but usually finds at least one too good in this company, while Indian Creek and Island House may need the run.
