It must be significant that Paul Moloney rides DASHING DOC in preference to stablemates Gap Of Dunloe and Argaum. The six-year-old will have needed last month's run here and is back on a winning mark. He makes more appeal than the thoroughly exposed Dark And Dangerous but No To Trident should go close with Tom Flint taking off 7lb as he's been placed in his last four outings in handicaps, though one of those was a seller and he's crept up the weights without winning.
