      Verdict

      Dakota Grey put a very poor run over a longer trip at Kelso behind him when ploughing through the mud on this track last month for a convincing victory. He has some improvement in him but the greater experience of BABY BACH may prove too much for him. Stuart Crawford's grey gained an impressive victory at Newcastle in November before a close second in a Class 2 handicap at Haydock. He made mistakes in Grade 2 company back there in January and should find this less testing. Too Many Chiefs didn't run badly for a 100/1 chance here last month but winning bumper performer Ten Trees hasn't shown much over hurdles. Wazowski fell at the fourth last in Dakota Grey's race here but was just starting to make some ground so any money for him would be interesting.
