Verdict
It was heavy going when CAME FROM THE DARK (NAP) made a winning handicap debut at Haydock recently. There looked plenty left in the locker on that occasion and Ed Walker’s charge can go in again. Pennsylvania Dutch has won four of five outings since undergoing wind surgery including a couple of course and distance successes. He’s penalised for his latest win at Goodwood but looks sure to be in the mix once again and is preferred to Lucky Lucky Man, who showed up to better effect at Doncaster last time and is back on a winning mark. Royal Prospect has plenty of scope and will handle the underfoot conditions but Gin In The Inn would prefer a faster surface.
