DASHWOOD continues to defy the handicapper and can do so again today after winning for the third time in four outings when scoring at Nottingham last week. Giles Bravery's charge is preferred to Volito, who still looks a shade high in the weights and Gracie's Games, whose recent win came in testing ground at Chepstow. Seamus Shindig has slipped down the weights and has claims on last year's form over C&D, but this is a step up in class for C'Mon You Irons and Luisa Tetrazzini.
