In depth
Verdict
An import from France, EILEAN DUBH was only beaten a short-head over course and distance on her debut for Karl Burke’s yard - she can go one better in this. Mudlahhim won a claimer at the track last month and finished fourth in a higher grade here last time while the unexposed Alrehb also drops down in class along with Tintoretto. The veteran Fieldsman went close over a mile at Kempton last week and won off today’s mark here last year.
