Verdict

DUBAWI SOUND has joined David Brown and was sent to Newcastle for a handicap on Saturday where he landed some tasty bets in the easiest of fashion. His 6lb penalty is halved by Harry Bentley's claim and a follow-up appears likely. Redvers landed a competitive ladies race at Ascot but a 6lb rise looks harsh and White Frost looks more of a threat. He was behind Redvers at Ascot but ran much better in a very tough handicap won by Dimension at York on Saturday and a repeat would see him in the frame. Triple Charm will be racing on fast ground for the first time since scoring at Windsor in October and though she's been a beaten favourite the last twice it would be no surprise to see a big run from her today. Galician was also a beaten favourite at Ripon last time but had looked progressive on her previous starts and could bounce back with her low weight.
