Totterdown takes no prisoners and Corey McGivern takes off a handy 7lb. Made For You claims 10lb off Made For You but longer trips suit Branson Missouri. Yorksea, fourth in the Betfair at Newbury last season, was second on the Flat last month, ahead of Havaila, so will be fitter than most but GO DANTE, who had wind surgery in August, has only had eight career starts. He’s won three of them and, with cheekpieces added today, is taken to relish this slight drop in class.
