      Verdict

      A tricky little heat in which DYNAMIC GIRL is taken to score off bottomweight. Brendan Powell's filly made a winning debut before being just touched off at Sandown on her handicap bow, a strong effort on just her second career start. A fair fourth a Windsor last time over 6f, she should relish the chance to return to the extra furlong and can maintain her upward curve. Hitman has gone well on both starts this season and looks an improved performer and also possibly in need of this step-up in trip on the back of creditable efforts behind Dancing Star and Papa Luigi the last twice. Willsy has ability but connections still appear to be experimenting with what represents his optimum trip whilst Hector Crouch's claim will aid the chance of Good Luck Charm over his best trip despite the steadier of topweight.
