Verdict

Successful on his third start, DOWMAN ran well switched to a nursery when bumping into an improver at Yarmouth last time and he can resume winning ways at this level. He gets the vote ahead of Sea Palace, who heads into nursery company after only the 2 starts, with Leicester scorer Pj's Corner completing the shortlist.
