In depth

Verdict

Gone'n'dunnett should appreciate the return to six furlongs having been outpaced over the minimum trip last time but, along with Miskina from the in-form Mark Brisbourne yard, has been done few favours with an outside draw, and a safer bet looks to be Certain Justice. The selection lost little in defeat behind Paso Doble here over seven furlongs last time and should not be inconvenienced by the return to six today. Blue Knight is probably best watched on his first start since October, while Sahara Silk has an even longer absence to overcome. Scuba has been running with great consistency of late and has to be considered along with Shannon Arms who could be of interest on his first start for Kevin Ryan, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Certain Justice has an obvious chance on recent form though and he gets the vote.
