      Verdict

      Newcastle winner Eilean Dubh was only beaten half-a-length when third at Pontefract on Wednesday and has to be respected. CAROLUS MAGNUS won a maiden and a handicap here last summer and wasn't beaten far in a Class 2 handicap here a couple of weeks ago. Legend Of Dubai showed real potential as a juvenile but only ran once last season, winning a novices' event when long odds-on at Ffos Las. Dingle has been going well on the all-weather though his Turf form isn't quite as strong while Menai Bridge is also better on Polytrack though did win on fast ground at Doncaster last summer.
