Verdict

DOLOS (NAP) was a long way behind stablemate Greaneteen in a Grade 1 at Sandown 18 months ago but has run well fresh in the past and is certainly capable of making his presence felt in this off a mark of 148. Greaneteen is a very smart two-miler but was only fourth in this last year and races off the same mark. Third Time Lucki and War Lord were both smart novices last season but the latter came out on top when the pair clashed in the Henry VIII at Sandown last term and is now 4lb better off.
