Verdict
DOTHAN benefited from the drop to 5f when runner-up at Southwell on his final outing last year, a race which has produced 3 subsequent winners, and he can continue his progress having been gelded ahead of his handicap debut. He is taken to get the better of Fiorella Princess, who ran her best race last time, with Blue Lakota also considered.
