Verdict

This rests between DUBAI ANGEL, Catchamat and Lough Derg Jewel. This is a marked step up in trip for Dubai Angel, but he has looked as if this sort of test would suit him well, and he doesn't meet any rivals with the ability of Elgin here. He appeared to not want for stamina when galloping his rivals into submission up the Carlisle hill on his final start in bumpers, and with slight reservations as to what exactly Lough Derg Jewel beat last time at Kelso, it could be the recent course winner Catchamat that gives this exciting Malcolm Jefferson trained youngster the most to do. 1. Dubai Angel 2. Catchamat 3. Lough Derg Jewel
