Laser Blazer is 10lb higher than when scoring over C&D last month but has won at Brighton since and is clearly in good heart. Transfer won at Ffos Las at the start of the month but has always been much better with some give in the ground while this is more competitive than the race A Little Bit Dusty won at Pontefract. Handles For Forks probably needs further while Peachez and Shabak Hom are hard to win with. DANEHILL DANTE is still a maiden but unexposed over this longer trip and looks as though he's running into a bit of form. He could be worth chancing here now that the handicapper has relented a little.
