Verdict
Major Domo is beginning to look exposed after five starts without success and Dare To Bare's better effort at Sandown last month suggests he could improve past him here. However, DECK WALK showed plenty of promise when third on her recent debut at Nottingham and she looks sure to stay this longer trip on breeding. Roger Charlton's filly gets the vote to open her account given the remainder with experience have plenty to find and newcomer Reggie Perrin makes no appeal.
