      Verdict

      Waterloo Dock reserves his best for Wolverhampton nowadays and Sir Domino needs to consign his latest run to the rubbish bin as he was beaten nearly 60l at Ayr. He's far better than that as he'd previously been progressive and therefore a market check is advisable as it may well reflect current wellbeing. Surety has gone well the last twice but both runs featured on polytrack and Cape Lion is of more interest. He receives plenty of weight and does need to improve but he could well do just that on this first venture on quick ground. PULL THE PLUG may have topweight but does know how to win, has every chance on the best of his form and has been dropped 1lb for his latest effort. Quick ground is his forte and a strong performance is expected.
