Verdict
A couple of these stand out on their latest running over track and trip. Anton Dolin and GOAL were both third in their respective divisions of the same handicap but the former has not won since 2013 and the latter makes more appeal. Tracey Watkins’ charge was beaten less than two lengths and should confirm running with fifth-placed Polvere D'oro. The remainder have shown no worthwhile form of late and it’s hard to make a case for any of them.
