Verdict
Dolphin Square has to carry a penalty here but he's pretty solid in the context of this race and should certainly be involved at the business end with David Maxwell's claim offsetting the vast majority of his penalty. However, IGOR (NAP) is the one with untapped potential and receives the vote. Not seen since last December, he was well beaten in a good race at Ascot but that was possibly attributable to soft ground as he'd made a pleasing debut at the Berkshire track when a good second under quicker conditions. Nativegetaway has disappointed the last twice but has claims on previous efforts.
