Domination looks the right one to side with at Newmarket, preferred to First Officer on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that should count over ten furlongs on good to soft. He is only three pounds behind the top-rated runner on our figures, so the gap is narrow and well within reach of an improving type. First Officer is the obvious danger given he heads our ratings, while Wild Violet and Dove Tale are also capable of making the frame if Domination is not at his best. This is a competitive little contest and confidence is low, but Domination is the selection.
