Verdict

A couple of these are unlucky not to have a recent win under their belts. Dommersen was beaten by a narrow margin for the third time in succession when second over 1m4f at Southwell a couple of days ago but GLOBAL ART is just preferred. The latter failed to catch the front-running Star Of Southwold by only a head over course and distance last time and can go one better. The latter is trained by Mick Appleby and he runs the unexposed Space Bandit while Involved makes his handicap debut having won a novices event over a mile at Wolverhampton. Cuillin is creeping closer but Derek Duval has a bit to find with the selection on collateral form.
