Verdict

The consistent Gone 'N' Dunnett can cope with top weight in this company and is selected ahead of the in-form Fortress and Limonia. The last named has won two of her last three starts and it is feasible that she has more improvement within her. A mark of 56 is far from restricting and she looks a leading contender to at least make the frame. Fortress found the minimum trip too sharp for her at Ayr last time, so can safely be counted on to relish today's extra distance. Her yard have been flying this term and another bold bid cannot be ruled out. However, Gone 'N' Dunnett has held his own in much stiffer company and it is his durability that makes him a most attractive proposition to overcome his burden at the weights.
