      Verdict

      A tricky puzzle to solve, despite the small field. Thegreatestshowman made a promising start behind the useful Dave Dexter at Newbury last month but all three of the previous winners seem likely to be suited by the extra furlong. Victory Command is from the stable that has won this for the past two years and he is preferred to fellow Doncaster winner Ninetythreetwenty, even though slightly more exposed. But CELEBRITY DANCER gets the nod having stormed clear inside the final furlong on this stiff track at the start of the month. Lincoln Park is by Kyllachy out of a winning sprinter but he’ll need to be above average to make a winning start.
