DALI MAIL (NAP) made a promising reappearance at Wetherby and appeared to take to fences like a duck to water at Newcastle, beating a subsequent winner. Glinger Flame is 6lb better for seven lengths, however, and will strip fitter today so is entitled to get much closer. Saint Freule hasn’t done much wrong over the larger obstacles so far and neither has the mare Isle Of Destiny but Farran Dancer look up against it again.
