Verdict
It's hardly a great joy to see a Classified Stakes race on the card but, in it, Coffin Dodger is selected ahead of Dubai Sunday and Jarvo. A course and distance winner that has the ability to go well from today's mark: these are the credentials that give Coffin Dodger claims today. Dubai Sunday holds a shout on his best form but might be better over further, while Itcanbedone Again at least comes here on the back of a fair effort, albeit on the all-weather. Jarvo's Kempton run three starts ago means he could be given some thought, while Twilight Avenger has bits of form and Danalova is lightly raced and from a canny yard so the betting sHould be watched. Once again, though, the selection is Coffin Dodger.
