Verdict

I'M A DEXSTAR (1) returns. Tackled some tough opposition last campaign and very much held his own, most notably placing in the Listed company. Strips fitter for a trio of trials and relishes this track and trip. Will take plenty of stitching. UTILITARIAN (6) is yet to strike through this campaign but put the writing on the wall here last start when rattling home to be beaten a lip. Peaking now and gets significant weight relief. Main danger. TYDEUS (5) sets up similarly for this and is another that is knocking on the door. Can threaten. MCKEEVER (4) improved again last start when third-up, beating home Tydeus. Carries more weight this time but deserves respect.
