        Verdict

        Top Care is a nicely-bred newcomer who could go very well first time, but with respect to the experience of Dunmore Boy we will take another debutant, SANDY LONNEN to score. Howard Johnson has a 36 per cent strike rate with his juveniles at this track in the past five seasons, which considering how many runners he has is a fantastic record. The Tobougg gelding is related to plenty of winning two-year-olds over sprint trips and is sure to be well prepared for this first run. Any ease in the ground would be a plus, but he may still be good enough to win. Dunmore Boy made a quiet enough debut at Hamilton earlier in the month and should relish these conditions, so with the experience under his belt he will be a tough opponent. Al Madina and Maverik have profiles that look likely to be better with age and Sandy Lonnen is selected.
