smartly away, made all, clear when shaken up 1f out, ran on strongly, unchallenged
chased leading pair, outpaced over 2f out, lost 2nd entering final 2f, weakened and hung left final furlong
keen early and hung right most of way, chased leaders in 4th, outpaced when hung right on home turn, weakened over 1f out
chased winner throughout, ridden over 1f out, never any chance
slowly away pushed along and green in rear, headway into modest 3rd entering final 2f, never any impression
DANZAN is penalised for last year’s success at Pontefract but has placed in much better company subsequently including a recent second in a conditions' race at Kempton. He’ll take the beating off a mark of 105 and one of the newcomers will need to be above average despite receiving weight. Of those, Regina Nostra makes most appeal as a sister to a couple of winners and a half-sister to others while Furze Lady is related to the smart sprinter Hoofalong.
