Verdict
Dispol Isle is expected to be better suited by the return to seven furlongs than Lady Suesanne and the penalised Misperon and is, therefore, given a tentative vote in a tricky little contest. The David Barron-trained selection is hard to win with on the turf, but has shown a real aptitude racing on the artificial surface here at Southwell. She was very unlucky not to reel in Misperon when they met nine days ago; she missed the break before staying powerfully in the closing stages. This extra distance will be much more beneficial to Dispol Isle and she has a live chance of putting the record straight. Lady Suesanne is another that has to be respected on the pick of her efforts. However, she been struggling over this intermediate trip lately and looks vulnerable again today. Market moves for either Lucius Verrus or the lightly weighted Sierra will also be noteworthy for each-way punters. But it can pay to give Dispol Isle another throw of the dice for win only purposes while she appears to be enjoying the challenge of winter racing.
