        Verdict

        Jack Dexter is going the right way having won on his handicap debut at Chester last time but has yet to race on fast ground. He had Profile Star well behind on the Roodeye, though the latter has since ran much better on a quicker surface at York and may reverse running. Colbyor ploughed through the mud to score at Nottingham recently and there was cut in the ground when Galician won at Hamilton on her latest start. SPRINGINMYSTEP made a respectable comeback in a higher grade sprint at Pontefract last month and, given his maiden win came on good to firm at Beverley, Michael Dods' colt gets the vote in this.
