Dansimar,Tobougg Welcome and Tavalu look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Dansimar. The selection was a fair second behind Abstract Folly last time out. that form looks solid and off the same mark here he look the one to be on. Tobougg Welcome rates the main danger on his latest second behind Kentucky Boy. He looks sure to be suited by this longer trip and off his light weight he will not be far away. Tavalu is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Mister Completely but he is rising in the weights without winning and is opposable on that basis. Rajayoga travels well but often finds less than expected off the bridle and in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Dansimar.
