Verdict

IT'S DUBAI DOLLY finished third over C&D in October and, as that is the best piece of recent form on offer, Alastair Lidderdale's mare gets the nod in this company. Laser Blazer has slipped another couple of pounds down the weights and may finish closer dropping down to this level, while Prickles finished third at Wolverhampton last week and she could figure once again with a similar effort. Gay Gallivanter and The Catenian both showed a bit more last time, but it's a struggle to find any other form on show worthy of a mention.
