Dominada is absolutely thriving under Megan Carberry at present and the pair are bound to have their supporters once again whilst it can only be a matter of time before Harry Fry's Drumcliff opens his account over hurdles judged by a slightly unlucky defeat at Kempton recently. Today could easily be the day but, if there is to be a fly in the ointment, it may be Dan Skelton's £110,000 French recruit OPTIMUS PRIME who showed a lot of promise on his British debut at Huntingdon, shaping as though this sharp track would play to his strengths.
1. Optimus Prime
2. Drumcliff
