Verdict

DOES HE KNOW has slipped to an attractive mark and hails from a yard firmly among the winners so he is taken to make a winning return in this open-looking veterans' handicap. Irish challenger Dunboyne has been in excellent nick for his current yard though so rates a big threat, while Elvis Mail could also have a say if on his A-game.
