Verdict

Small-stakes advised on what is a tricky final race. The Richard Fahey-trained Dark Devil doesn't win very often but the form of his recent third in a higher grade at Chester reads well in this context, and he holds solid place claims once again. Atalanta Queen is interesting as she steps up to 1m2f for the first time, which could see her show improvement if getting the trip. She ran well in similar conditions to what are forecast when third in heavy ground at Haydock two starts back. DOLLY DUPREE finished last of six when stepped up to 1m2f for the first time two starts ago, but that was on faster ground to what is forecast now, and she has to be worth another chance.
  1. Dolly Dupree
  2. Atalanta Queen
  3. Dark Devil
