MORE THAN THIS is penalised for making a winning start at Ayr. But Richard Fahey’s colt scored by a convincing three lengths and, with this extra distance likely to suit, he could still prove the one to beat with today’s opposition looking decidedly modest. Glorious Dane showed a modicum of improvement when fourth at Sandown last time and is preferred to stablemate Beauty Concept while Zoffee is a brother to a winner and makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Arctic Sound.
