Verdict

DAKOTA BRAVE benefited from the step up to 7f when third at Newcastle on his latest outing and he can build on that effort to get off the mark. The main danger could be Lushill, who wasn't seen to best effect at this course last time, with Temple Court another to note as he goes over further.

4	Prominent in the betting on debut but was very green when well held at Newmarket in May. Subsequently gelded and showed more when fourth of 11 in maiden at Bath (5.7f) last month.
