        Verdict

        Dubai Dynamo won this in 2011 and invariably goes well here though he wouldn't want the ground any faster, a remark that also applies to Swiftly Done, who is best with some give. Osteopathic Remedy beat St Moritz narrowly here in August though is another who enjoys softer conditions but LORD AERYN, who was beaten less than 2l by him on heavy going at Ayr in September, will be better suited by today's conditions and can take his revenge on 6lb better terms. He's handed the vote though both Ardmay and Frontier Fighter are running well and the former had several of these behind when scoring here last month.
