        Verdict

        It is hardly surprising that a tongue strap and visor are being applied to assist Don Pasquale, who looked far from genuine when hanging all the way down the straight over course and distance three weeks ago. Even so, he is hard to oppose in this company, as the likes of Blakeshall Hope and Davenport have not really set the world alight and both have improvement to find. The last named put in a better performance last time and he looks worth a try over this sort of trip. Whereas Blakeshall Hope hung badly on his latest start and he looks little better than a low-grade handicapper. He may be best watched on only his second start for his new yard. A move for Pittsburgh could prove to be significant as his two previous efforts read quite well in the context of this race. However, he may just need this after his winter break and may also be best watched. Therefore, it underlines the quality of the race when Don Pasquale looks the most reliable option. Every measure looks to have been taken in a bid to get him off the mark today and, with Eddie Ahern doing the steering, he is given another chance today.
