Verdict
DOMMERSEN was having only his second start when coming with a late burst to land a 7f Lingfield maiden and though this is much tougher there's more in the tank and he can complete a double. Ballard Down, who won a Kempton maiden in December, ran a cracking race on his reappearance at Ascot and looks a big threat. Status Quo didn't show much in his opening runs on Turf but won a maiden over 7f here in September and might well be starting out in handicaps on a lenient mark. Winter Rose scored at Kempton in August and has been competing in tough handicaps subsequently so she'll appreciate the drop in class.
