Verdict

DOLLAR BAE has duly improved switched to handicaps the last twice and, with the promise of better to come from this 6-y-o, she is taken to complete the hat-trick. Last year's winner Ravenscar did the job well at Sedgefield on her recent return to action and a reproduction of that would put her firmly in the mix. However, her profile is rather up-and-down and Autumn Return, who is open to improvement now handicapping on the back of her Catterick success, could be a bigger threat.
