Verdict

While cases can be made for the majority of these, DOUGHMORE BAY is almost certainly the one with the greatest potential. He shaped better than the bare result on his handicap debut at Cheltenham and, granted better luck here, he could be the answer. Ilovethenightlife left the impression that this stiffer test would be in her favour when putting in good late work over 2½m on her latest start and she is feared most. Lassue and For Gina are also appealing.
