Having shown improved form in recent outings, including when winning at Sandown two starts ago, Splash Out Again is now stepped up in trip. The gelding failed to stay 1m4f when tried over the distance last season but may now be ready for it. Danakil lost little in defat at Salisbury last week and off the same mark should again be thereabouts, as should Conquering Love if Seb Sanders can get the best out of him. Kieren Fallon is an eye-catching booking for James Hetherton's Cyber Santa.
