Daasij had shown progressive form last year when landing a hat-trick over hurdles but hasn't raced since May 2011. DELIGHTFULLY makes more appeal on this occasion as she ran well on her return to action at Hexham last month and looks capable of winning off her current mark. Pyjama Game is another who should have come on for a recent pipe-opener and Shanroe Society also has claims on his best form in Ireland. Solis didn't show any improvement in a couple of outings last month but Spruzzo ran well enough at Hexham and may get involved.
