Denis Hogan has a chance of completing a double in the second division via Adapt To Dan, but he's a frustrating type and still a maiden after 17 starts. He also saddles top-weight SCHERZANDO, who ran a fine race when runner-up at Cork on Wednesday, conceding the winner a stone. That was only his seventh start and he's taken to get off the mark. Sunset Nova ran his best race for a long time behind Hell Left Loose at Navan on Saturday so a big run from the winner in the previous race will point to his chances. Angel Palanas was a Southwell specialist when trained by Karl Burke in the UK.
