      Verdict

      It's hard to split Dougan and Sir Billy Wright at the weights, both being owned by the Shropshire Wolves and trained by David Evans. Punters fancying one or the other might be best placing a small saver on the stable companion too. Of the pair, Dougan would be a narrow preference but a chance is taken that WENTWORTH FALLS can bounce back to form. He looked a much-improved handicap sprinter in the early part of the campaign but two of his last three outings have not been up to the same standard. However, a return to that earlier level would see him right there despite topweight and he's worth another chance, especially if the rains stay away. Lexington Times is not without a chance but winning has become hard for him and Shamsaya could be more interesting tackling her elders for first time after a fair reappearance.
