Dandy Nicholls holds a strong hand with three runners, including last years winner Zuhair. He won this off a mark of 76 and yet, he comes into this off a 6lb lower mark. He looks certain to run well and should have nothing to fear from runner-up that day Maromito, who he meets on13lb better terms, the sixth Flak Jacket (6lb better terms), and Beyond Calculation 12th (10lb better terms). Toldya gained reward for some consistent efforts when beating a useful field at Newcastle over the weekend. She has more too do under her penalty, but with Liam Keniry taking a valuable 5lbs off, she can give a good account.
