DAN TROOP (NAP) was gelded over the winter and has won both starts so far this year. Richard Fahey’s charge is likely to prove popular bidding for hat-trick after winning at Musselburgh and then Wetherby last month with a couple of subsequent winners coming out of the latter race. Florencio posted a better effort on the all-weather last week and Mon Beau Visage won over a mile at Pontefract back in May. Proud Archi scored over track and trip in April and could also go well only 2lb higher on his return.
