Perfect Pasture can include a defeat of Flying Pursuit over course and distance in a recent double. He’d earlier finished behind the in-form Teruntum Star at York while Danzeno has a shout at the weights as he drops back down in class. Dream Of Dreams won a conditions race over 7f in September but was beaten by SIR DANCELOT in Listed company last year and the latter makes most appeal in this having beaten the useful Jallota over 7f at the track a fortnight ago. Sainted has plenty to find on these terms while the Irish duo Maarek and Gordon Lord Byron may not be the forces of old but are still capable at this level.
