DAIRAM's string of seconds is off-putting but this looks his easiest task so far. He came up against a Sir Michael Stoute-trained hotpot over 7f here last month but can go one better in this company. Correggio passed the post first at Catterick in May before disqualification but has come up short in a couple of starts over today's longer trip since then and the less exposed Echo Of Lightning makes more appeal. Prokeel will need to improve on last year's form to figure while the newcomer Brother Duke is related to a couple of 7f winners.
