The step up to 1m6f at this track brought a much improved performance from AD VALUE. He beat today's rival Royal Bonsai on that occasion and further progress is expected upped in distance once again. Jinto has been threatening to get his head back in front and should be thereabouts along with Strikemaster, while the inconsistent Miss Whippy could figure if on one of her going days. However, Dane Cottage takes a drop in class and, hailing from an in-form yard, could prove the biggest danger.
