      Verdict

      Alan Swinbank's Turbo Linn is a class act and she should be up to landing this; Dunaskin and Eradicate are the dangers. The selection ended last season running in Group 2 company and although she disappointed that day at Doncaster, she did make remarkable progress last season and her trainer holds her in high regard. If she is fit enough on her seasonal bow she will be diffcult to beat. Dunaskin chased home Raincoat at Ripon last time and he does have a race fitness edge over our selection. Eradicate has his optimum ground conditions but he looks pretty exposed and it will be a surprise if he is up to beating our selection. Michael Bell's Gull Wing won well last time but she has more on her plate today. If Turbo Linn is fit enough she will be very difficult to beat.
