Verdict

ANNO DOMINI (1) finished not too far away in ninth last time out over 7f at this track when first up from a spell. He will find this easier, and top trainer Charlie Appleby will ensure that he is spot on with his fitness this time. Stick with him. HAWKSBILL (6) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Richard Spencer barn. He cops a wide gate, but his stable is running hot, and he is capable of giving this field a big shake. Check the markets. BULLACE (2) is an eight-year-old import having his first run for the M Mardood barn. Hasn't raced since he finished fifth over 1m at Longchamp three-and-a-half months ago. He has raced on this course in the past and is at the right level for his return. Each way value. ENGLISH OAK (5) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Hamad Al-Jehani barn. He is only lightly tried for a 6-year-old gelding, and it is a good lead when James Doyle is in the irons. Watch closely.
