A cracking 3-y-o handicap. DHUSHAN has made a very bright start to his career and can step forward again now moving up in trip. John & Thady Gosden pair Imperial Sun and Marshall Plan should also have more to come now going up to 1¾m and head the many dangers. Alpine Stroll is one to bear in mind for those seeking a longer-priced alternative.
