Verdict

A couple arrive in fine form including Reasoned, who is upped in class and raised 7lb bidding for a hat-trick of course wins. But CHOOKIE DUNEDIN is preferred only 2lb higher than when scoring in this grade over track and trip last month with Bahuta Acha finishing second. The latter has now returned a losing favourite on his last three starts while Spirit Of Wedza also has something to find with the selection though found only one too good back here last time. Requinto Dawn went close at Pontefract last summer and has his first outing since but Shake Me Handy will be sharper for last month’s comeback run.
