DIVIDEND DAN did well to finish third competing on unfavourable terms in a claiming race here last time. This isn't any tougher so he gets the token vote. Exceedexpectations has looked in the handicapper's grip since landing a double at Wolverhampton earlier this year while Indus Valley has also failed to figure off higher marks having won over track and trip in February. Silvala Dance may improve for a recent comeback but it's difficult to find anything positive to say about the remainder.
