Danni California placed in a handicap at Newmarket earlier and has the beating of Bath runner-up Halcyon Spirit and Breakfastatiffanys back at this level. WONDER ELMOSSMAN was aimed high at Newbury last week when well beaten in Listed company but has every chance on his earlier form in novice company. Stan Moore’s charge can make a winning debut on the all-weather with Drag Race and Think Trigger newcomers to note.
