Dynamo Walt was second in this last year but is 10lb higher today and finished well behind runner-up FAST TRACK (NAP) at Wolverhampton last month. The latter also beat Royal Birth and Bosham on his first start since September and David Barron's sprinter looks sure to make a bold bid on that form. Sandfrankskipsgo got the better of Taajub and Burning Thread when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago but this is tougher and last year's Epsom Dash winner Desert Law may prove a bigger threat as he remains unexposed on the all-weather surfaces.
