        Verdict

        Another very competitive sprint handicap that is sure to go right down to the wire and, although he is as frustrating an individual as they come, Dorchester is given another chance to make the most of his fair, current mark. Stablemate, Compton Dynamo and Texas Gold are others to consider on the pick of their form whilst Parkside Pursuit could also go close if he runs up to his best. However, he found Dorchester too good in a similar event here last term and will struggle to reverse the form on these terms. Oases also has the ability to play a strong part in the finish and will be interesting if available at an each way price. But the booking of Pat Eddery could prove to be decisive for Dorchester in the drive for the line.
