Verdict

Dynastic's first attempt at today's trip doesn't boost confidence as he was still beaten 10 lengths despite finishing third but Bounty Seeker's third to Ed De Gas looks better now with the latter having won again since. Dartford makes his handicap debut and had earlier finished runner-up to Marco Botti's Grey Mirage, who has subsequently gone in again, and Botti runs SPANISH WEDDING today. He'll relish the longer trip after finishing second over a mile at this track in December and gets the tentative vote. Welsh Nayber and stablemate Bramshill Lass, Romantic and Flying Trader can also be given a chance in a wide-open race.
