Darsi Dancer has been a progressive sort between the flags over the last nine months and had Nobunaga five lengths adrift in a point-to-point last month. But this should be plain sailing for the once-useful CAPPA BLEU if he is anywhere near match-fit - he's travelled a long way to find a suitable opportunity. Nowurhurlin and Beggar's Velvet have each-way claims and Wicklow Lad might be best of the rest ahead of Tweedys Choice.
