Verdict
Another run-of-the-mill claimer where only a handful make any appeal whatsoever and it can pay to keep faith with Dunn Deal, who edges a narrow vote over Intellibet One, Keneley Lass and Rocinante. The three-year-old was kept busy during his juvenile campaign and has been well placed since he joined his new yard. The Revoque colt was not given too hard a time when his chance had gone in both his starts this season but he would not have to run above himself to take a race of this nature. He is well situated with regard to the draw and can swoop around the outside when they hit the dog-leg on the rail a furlong out. Arabian Knight, although not the most consistent horse in training, can chase him home if he runs up to his best.
