Verdict
Danz Gift has won six times around here though never from a mark this high. He beat Snow Patch comfortably in December though the latter will be 6lb better off. Blastofmagic was in fine form throughout last year, winning twice and placed five times. He hasn't run since July but still looks on a fair mark if ready. Your Pal Tal is 5-38 around here but he very rarely runs over the minimum trip these days. HEDONISM had four starts on Turf for Henry Candy last summer and showed enough to suggest he'll be winning before long. His stable remain in outstanding form and he's starting out on what could be a lenient mark. Denis Hogan has four entries with Lapilli possibly the best of them after scoring over 6f a fortnight ago though he was earlier almost 10l behind Danz Gift over this trip. Captain Power landed a claimer here and has changed stables though hasn't shown much for new connections.
