Verdict

DUBLIN BAY looked ahead of his mark when opening his account at Ffos Las on Tuesday and he's taken to follow up under a penalty. Maasai Mata has solid claims in first time cheekpieces having finished runner-up at Thirsk last week, while White Ladder is one to note for market support now tried in headgear on nursery debut. Of the rest, Supreme Dancer has disappointed in handicap company so far but could be more competitive down in grade.
